Seker Gevrek Quince

A sweet quince from Turkey which in Turkish means sweet and crispy. The large bright yellow fruit matures in early October and keeps until February. The flesh is lemon colored and sweeter than most quinces. A great new quince for the American fruit grower from the USDA germplasm repository in Corvallis Oregon.

At the turn of the 20th century almost every rural family had a fruiting quince tree. 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, have big white blossoms
in late spring and very large bright yellow fruit. Fruiting quinces are self-fertile.
