Quince Seeds

$5.00

Latin name: Cydonia oblonga
Uses: Edible
Lifecycle: Perennial (zone 5-9)

Quince seeds from the cultivar Giant of Zagreb.

The Giant of Zagreb Quince is one of the hardiest varieties of quince that produces large, knobby pear shaped fruit. The aromatic white flesh has a sour-raspberry flavour and must be cooked, It is best used in baking, jellies, sauces or candied. This is one of the hardiest varieties of quince available.

The tree is self-pollinating, but benefits from a second variety for better yields. Fruit can get up to 4 inches wide. The tree prefers average to moist conditions with well-drained soils. It is a long lived tree, but it is occasionally susceptible to fire blight, a bacterial disease, so as soon as the flagging branches are seen in early summer, they should be removed and burned or removed from the area to prevent further damage to the tree.

A great ornamental tree with its large beautiful pale-pink to white flowers. Originating from former Yugoslavia and named after the city of Zagreb.
