Quinces
Quinces have been cultivated for centuries producing pear shaped fruits suitable for marmalades, jellies and as an accompaniment to cooked apple.
Ripe Quinces have a strong sweet smell and in the past were used as air fresheners. However take heed! When picked store Quinces away from other fruit because their smell can be transferred.
Worth a place in any garden or orchard making a spreading and drooping tree. Quinces have attractive large white flushed pink flowers in the spring and their fruit ripens by late October.
Hardy trees, originating in central Asia and grown much in southern Europe where they have hot summers. Bearing this in mind plant in a sheltered sunny position. Tolerate of a variety of soils but avoid sites that can become waterlogged.
