I may just have bought a quince tree!

Now I don't need a quince tree, but it was reduced down to £10

Just need to work out where to put it now!

Where did you get THAT???

If you don't want it I'll be delighted to take it

[Gryfon]

Well it's about 10' tall so I'm not quite sure how I'd send it in the post!

My mum mentioned a couple of weeks back that a local garden centre had some acers for sale at £10 each, but I was told by Mr G that 6 of them is more than enough! But today I was there to look at the pet area and as driving out saw the for sale trees so went to have a look. That was the only tree with a lable, the others seem to be guess work ones.

Just read somewhere that adding a couple of slices of quince to apple pie is yummy!

Think my plan is to put it in a large pot for now until we decide where it's going to go.

My neighbour has one and it is quite a large tree so dont grow it too close to the house...they can be very temperamental - and dont fruit every year my neighbour tells me ...she gave me some three years ago and I made quince jelly...really gorgeous. Best of luck with it ...I am thinking of growing one just because they are unusual...

[Gryfon]

Lol...will keep the dropped fruit from the small child then

I'm hoping to keep it well trained and not get too large otherwise it'll completely shade next door.

I really need my parents field in France to grow all these trees I want!

Japanese or European?

Last November, I planted a bare-root maiden European Quince (Cydonia oblonga) on semi-dwarfing rootstock in my front garden. The variety is 'Isfahan' (sometimes spelled Ispahan). I won't get any fruit for four years or so, but I can wait.

It's called 'Vranja', supposed to give huge fruits! I think it's European? Got a plant passport
