Quince Trees
Quinces have a lax irregular growth and are therefore best grown as bushes, fans or spreading trees, reaching 12-15ft in height. Pruning should be carried out in the dormant season. As well as being productive, they are also very ornamental. Preferring a heavier, but not waterlogged soil.
We have available:
1 year old feathered maidens
Bush, 1/2 Standard and Standard trees
