Pineapple Quince

I haven't had this tree for more than a few weeks now, but I planted it a day after receiving it and buds began to swell in a week or so and now leaves are immerging. So far, so good!

needed instruction to soak before planting first ones no soak n they died replacement soaked has buds already thanks john cavalier

There was some damage to our Quince when it arrived. After emailing Raintree Nursery customer service, I received an immediate reply about how I could save the tree I had ordered, and even though it wasn't what I was expecting, it could indeed thrive. In the meantime, Laura looked for another Quince for us (albeit it was late in the season), and wonderfully found one and mailed it to us immediately. Great follow-up and willingness to help. Thank you, Laura, and Raintree Nursery staff!!!

My quince is already giving me happiness. It is full of sprouts and enjoying life in my garden. Thank you very much.

Planted in 2012 and maintained at 8 or 9 feet tall and maybe 10 to 12 foot wide with about a 4 or 5 inch wide trunk- looks like a perfectly lollypop shaped minature tree.
No problems with any disease on the tree or fruit and no pests are apparent. I have gotten up to 40 pounds of fruit off that tree but I got alot less the next three years- I should have thinned them much more! The fruit split in half and cored baked covered in foil with butter at 350 F for 1 hour is maybe the most intensely flavored of all. Tart but not sour like a lemon- a little honey on top would help anyone that doesnt like tart. The flavor is sort of like pineapple- the smell is very intense and it smell like tropical fruits. The room you have it in will wsmell delicious for 4 or 5 days. Texture when cooked is a little softer than well baked acorn squash and with fine grain and no fibers, color is golden yellow. No need to peel when baking, the skin is less than paper thin and very soft. Get one if you like strong flavor and the smell is worth having alone. Probably took 3 years before first fruit
