A small tree with aromatic fruit shaped like a cross between a pear and an apple. Oblong furrowed pear-shaped fruit with golden-yellow skin and mild light yellow flesh.
Usually eaten in stews, marmalades and jellies. Sometimes added to hard cider. We’ve had jelly made from this cultivar, which was fantastic! Citrusy, fragrant with an orangey-pink hue—not like anything we’d tasted.
Large white to pink flowers. Wood of mature trees becomes impressively gnarled and twisted.
A very hardy Russian variety, may be the hardiest of them all. Selected for its pineapple-like flavor notes and disease resistance. Ripens in October in central Maine. Z4/5. (3–6' bare-root trees)

Additional Information
Quince
Not to be confused with Flowering Quince, the ornamental shrub Chaenomeles, which has smaller fruit.
Similar soil requirements to other fruit trees: Plant in full sun, and space 15-20' apart. Prune like an apple tree. Needs protection from apple borers. Fruits may not ripen in the coldest areas.
Self-fruitful but planting more than one will give better yields. Native to Asia.
