Crimea™ Quince Tree

Crimea™ Quince Tree

Large, round and bright yellow, Crimea™ Quince Tree fruit is a striking sight covering this attractive small tree. You’ll enjoy this crisp, juicy and tender fruit with its delicious pineapple-like flavor and citrus-like fragrance.

Once very popular and now hard to find, Crimea™ Quince Tree deserves to be more widely planted in our gardens and landscapes. An attractive, spreading, small tree, Quince is adorned with large, cup-shaped, pink and white flowers in the spring followed by bountiful crops of large, bright yellow, sweetly aromatic fruit in late fall. High in Vitamin C and pectin, Quince makes delicious preserves and baked goods.

Quince like half day to full sun and grows well in most soils. It grows 10-12 ft. in height at maturity and is hardy to at least -25° F. Quince trees can bear 100 pounds or more of fruit, which ripen from late September into October. Quince is generally pest and disease free.
