Cydonia oblonga

Description

A variety of quince up to 5m in height, which is highly productive. Green leaves with pale undersides appear before fragrant, white to pale rose-pink flowers in spring, followed by pear-shaped, fragrant golden-yellow fruits from October which can be used for jams and jellies or adding sparingly to apple pies and crumbles for extra tartness. As quince fruits are very fragrant, they are best stored away from other fruits to avoid tainting them
