Cydonia Oblonga
Cydonia are large deciduous shrubs. The shrub has simple oval leaves, and 5-petalled, bowl-shaped pink or white flowers that are followed by pear-like acidic fruits that are edible when ripe, and are often used for making preserves.
Flowering Season
From Mid Spring TO Late Spring
Quince flowers, which have 5 petals, and are bowl-shaped, and usually white or pink, appear in Spring.
Planting
From Late Winter TO Early Spring
Plant out in late winter. Quinces need a long growing season to ripen well and so are best trained as a fan against a south or west-facing wall in more exposed or northerly gardens.
