The flowers are followed by 2" round, yellow, edible fruit. The longer the cold winter lasts, the more prolific the flowering will be.

Propagation by cuttings
From Late Summer TO Mid Autumn
Semi hard wood cuttings are taken from the current years growth from late summer to mid autumn the bottom of the cuttings is hard and soft on the top. With a sharp knife take a cutting of about 14cms, remove lowest leaves, dip end into rooting hormone, and place round the edge of a pot filled with a suitable compost, water well, they must remain moist till rooted, place under glass but in semi shade.
Planting young plants
From Early Autumn TO Late Autumn
Chaenomeles are easy to grow in almost any soil, as long as it is well drained and not overly-fertile. They will tolerate a wide range of soil pH from slightly alkaline to acidic and can be planted in full sun or partial shade. Best time to plant is in autumn as there is less chance that the roots will dry out.
