Quince 'Meech's Prolific' 'Meechs Prolific'

'Meech's Prolific' quince is a superb choice for UK gardeners seeking a reliable and ornamental fruit tree. It produces large, pear-shaped, golden-yellow fruits with a wonderfully aromatic fragrance, ripening in October. While too astringent to eat raw, they are excellent for jellies, marmalades, and baking. The tree is an attractive specimen, bearing beautiful pale pink flowers in late spring, followed by its distinctive fruit. It forms a small, spreading tree, suitable for even smaller gardens. It thrives in full sun and well-drained, fertile soil, tolerating a range of conditions once established. Hardy and relatively easy to grow.
