The quince trees for sale are available as barerooted one year ‘maiden’ trees being lifted and dispatched when dormant from late November onwards. They are mostly 1.8m / 6′ tall maybe a little taller. Reduce the trees height a little after planting to encourage a framework of branching.

Quince trees are dispatched between late November and late February when dormant.
We have now brought sales to an end for winter 2021-22 with dormancy coming to an end. We are now looking forward to growing a fresh crop for winter 2022-23 which we will make available to reserve from July well ahead of supply from late November.

Quinces are of a rounded shape and ripen to a golden colour. Said to ripen enough to eat fresh. A relatively new variety from a Russian research station also known as ‘Aromatnaya’. Shows good resistance to quince leaf blight. Pick during October. Self fertile.
Lescovaka

Produces large apple shaped quinces. An introduction from south east Europe apparently being also known as ‘Serbian Gold’. The photo was taken in mid September so will turn more gold with time.
We have grown this variety for a couple of years now and it seems very leaf blight resistant meaning a healthy tree that should fruit well over time. A hardy variety. Self fertile.

Arose in the 1800s and introduced into the UK from south eastern Europe in the 1920s and has become the most well known Quince variety. Large attractive pear shaped fruits that ripen yellow. There is another variety ‘Bereczcki’ which is very similar to ‘Vranja’ and may well be the same. Pick late October. Store for up to 3 months but keep separate to other fruits! Self fertile.

A more unusual fruit tree whose fruits need to be left to rot slightly in the autumn before being used to make jelly, jam, chutney or even cheese.
