Quince 'Vranja'

DUE TO THE FULL LENGTH OF THE SAPLINGS (2.5 M), PICK-UP IS RECOMMENDED. IF SHIPPED, WE WILL PRUNE THEM BACK TO 1.5M.
Produces very large yellow fruits in a true pear shape (slightly hairy) with a reliable harvest in our climate: late September - late October. Disease resistant.

Quince trees form sturdy bushes to small trees, blooming in late spring with light pink flowers. Fruit set is rarely a problem as most varieties are self-pollinating, though planting different varieties will increase the yield per plant. The fruits are harvestable late in autumn; wild quince does not cope well with our wet climate: special varieties yield the best harvest here. The fruits can be eaten raw, you just need to get used to the sour, moisture-extracting taste in your mouth. Once you're past that, it's a feast! However, the most common use is as a compote in desserts, pies, etc. The wonderful scent that the fruits emit is striking.
We supply 1-2 year old plants grafted onto Quince A, Quince Adams, or Quince Eline rootstock.
