Cydonia oblonga 'Portugal'

Portugal is a large (5"-7" long), pear shaped, old European variety that is larger in the middle and tapers at both ends. Portugal quince stews well and becomes a deep crimson when cooked. Mixing one Portugal with a dozen apples will make a uniquely pink sauce with a superior, pineapple-like quince flavor.

Portugal is highly productive and a regular cropper, but is less cold-hardy than many varieties. It's also particularly well-suited for hot summer areas. Quince trees are self fertile and showy, with big white blossoms in late spring and unusual, fuzzy yellow fruits in fall.

It's early, but it looks good!

The quince came through in great condition. I soaked it overnight and planted it the next morning. Within a week the Portugal Quince had already leafed out and it still looks good. It's always tough to review a tree after only a couple of weeks, but the early signs are very promising.

Easy and productive

Planted in 2017 or 2018. For the last 3 or 4 years 8 or 9 large fruits on a pretty young and compact tree. Fruit is delish when added to apple pies. Quince is hard to peal but also don’t have to worry birds or squirrels.

Very Prolific

I purchased this tree in 2018 and by 2020 it s about 9 feet tall and was loaded with beautiful large fruit. It s a very attractive tree with absolutely no problems with disease. When cooking, the fruit cooks down much quicker than other fruit varieties and the flavor is wonderfully tangy and apple like. It makes lovely red membrillo and quince jelly.
