Pourquoi nous le cultivons

Quince adds flavour and pectin to the preserving kitchen. A modest harvest goes a long way when blended with apples or pears.

Comment pousse la plante

A small, spreading tree or large shrub. Keep the centre open and allow air movement; fruit quality benefits from a warm position.

Taille de la plante

Taille à maturité often 12–20 ft tall and wide.

Informations complémentaires

Quince has longstanding cultivation across western Asia, the Mediterranean and Europe, and is now grown in temperate fruit regions worldwide. The strongly scented fruit is particularly useful where a crop can be processed into shelf-stable preserves.

Tree quince produces fragrant fruit that is usually cooked into jelly, paste or preserves. It is a different plant from flowering quince and can be a useful small orchard tree where autumns are long enough to ripen the crop.
