A charming small fruit tree known for its delicate pale pink spring blossoms and large, pear-shaped golden fruit. Highly prized for their rich pink flesh when cooked, making them perfect for jellies, jams, and stewing. This tidy, low maintenance tree is drought-tolerant once established and requires minimal pruning, making it ideal for the home gardener. Notably, it begins producing large fruit at a young age, offering both beauty and productivity early on.
Self-Fertile
Quince trees are tough and adaptable, flourishing in sunny spots with protection from strong winds to prevent branch breakage when fruit is heavy. They grow well in most well-drained soils, especially those improved with compost or organic matter. Regular watering and feeding through the growing season will help support strong growth and maximise fruit production.
