Cydonia oblonga 'Pineapple'

Heavy crops of large, intensely fragrant, firm and sweet/tart fruit are used in baking and jellies. Enjoy the profuse, ornamental display of large single, white blooms tinged with dusky rose. Cold hardy, yet has a low chilling requirement of 300 hours. A Luther Burbank selection; Burbank spend decades developing a variety that would cook quickly and without the woody internal patches that could be found on other old varieties.

At the turn of the 20th century almost every rural family had a fruiting quince tree they relied on for medicine, pectin, and fragrant, long-lasting fruits. The varieties we offer have delightful pineapple-like flavors. They are prized for cooking, jelly making, and adding to apple cider. Quince trees are self fertile and showy, with big white blossoms in late spring and unusual, fuzzy yellow fruits in fall.

Pineapple quince

Hard to review account the tree is barely starting to bud after planting. However, the transaction and shipping appeared to be as expected. One final thought is that the tree appeared to be muddy and not washed off. However, it could have been sprayed by clay as a protectant from certain pests and diseases.

Newly received and planted 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!

Great Customer Service

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!!!
