1 Live Plant Provence Quince 18 Inch Tall Rooted 1-2 Year Old Cydonia oblonga
Provence Quince is a classic European fruiting quince valued for its large, fragrant, golden-yellow fruit and ornamental pale pink spring blossoms. This rooted plant, standing around 18 inches tall at 1 to 2 years of age, offers gardeners a head start on establishing a long-lived, productive fruiting shrub or small tree suited to home orchards, edible landscapes, and mixed borders.
Quince fruit is firm and aromatic, traditionally used in jams, jellies, preserves, and baked dishes where its high pectin content and distinctive flavor shine. The plant grows with an open, spreading habit and produces showy blooms in spring followed by fruit in autumn, adding both ornamental and culinary value to the garden. It can be trained as a small specimen tree or maintained as a fruiting hedge. Grow in full sun for best flowering and fruit set, in well-drained soil, and provide consistent moisture during establishment.
