Quince Bush
(Chaenomeles) Flowering quince are a group of very winter hardy, disease resistant, deciduous shrubs, covered with an abundance of beautiful flowers each spring. The varieties we offer each follow up with a crop of nutritious fruit with a pineapple and citrus flavor that can be used to make jellies or syrups. This is a great group of edible ornamentals. For fruit, plant two varieties. They make great hedge plants spaced about 4' apart.

(Chaenomeles cathayensis) The unusual fruit of this rare tree produces a citrus-like juice that is high in Vitamin C and anti-oxidants and used in Eastern Europe to flavor marmalades, candies, ice cream and yogurt. It also makes an excellent jelly and combines well with apples in a pie. The white with pink striped spring flowers are favored by bees, but another flowering quince is needed for pollination. The small tree grows only 15' tall, but the oblong green fruit, which turns yellow in a warm summer, is huge, almost two pounds each. Pick fru full description

The bushes are very easy to grow in sun or partial shade, can reach 6 feet in height and width. One gallon size. full description
