Mespilus germanica 'Nottingham'
An attractive looking, small deciduous tree or shrub, grown for its edible fruit, which are somewhat unattractive to look at (like a deformed apple)
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.
