Quince - Cydonia oblonga
Hardy to Zone 4...Not Picky About Soil Type ... Excellent SHADE Tree ~!!
The quince (pronounced /ˈkwɪns/ ), or Cydonia oblonga , is the sole member of the
genus Cydonia and native to warm-temperate southwest Asia in the
Caucasus region. It is a small deciduous tree , growing 5–8 m tall and
4–6 m wide, related to apples and pears , and like them has a pome fruit
, which is bright golden yellow when mature, pear-shaped, 7–12 cm long
and 6–9 cm broad.
Used as a rootstock for grafted plants, quince has the property of dwarfing the growth of pears,
of forcing them to produce more precociously, and relatively more
fruit-bearing branches, instead of vegetative growth, and of
accelerating the maturity of the fruit. When a baby is born in Slavonia and Croatia, a quince tree is planted as a symbol of fertility, love and life.
A decidious Tree growing to 7.5 m (24ft) by 7 m (23ft) at a medium rate.
