5 Seeds Pseudocydonia sinensis Chinese Quince Tree

Pseudocydonia sinensis, commonly known as Chinese Quince, is a small ornamental tree grown for its glossy foliage, showy spring blossoms, and large aromatic fruit. It develops a sculptural, peeling bark over time and makes an attractive specimen for temperate gardens and edible landscapes.
The fruit is firm and fragrant, traditionally used to make jams, jellies, and preserves once cooked, while the tree itself adds year-round ornamental interest with its flowers, foliage, and autumn color. It grows slowly into a compact, multi-stemmed tree suited to borders, patios, and mixed plantings.
