QUINCE
(Cydonia oblonga) While commonly grown around the Black Sea and into Turkey, they have become rare in the US. An attractive, spreading, small tree, Quince is adorned with large, cup-shaped, pink and white flowers in the spring followed by abundant crops of large, bright yellow, sweetly aromatic fruit in late fall. High in Vitamin C and pectin, They are prized for cooking, jelly making, and adding to apple cider. Add 1 to every 6 apples for a superb pie. Quince is self-fertile and hardy to minus 25°F. or below.
Quince have had a sudden resurgence in popularity the last 2 years and our production has not come close to our demand. We have ramped up grafting and hope to have good quantities in 2021
