Quince Trees

Cydonia oblonga (quince) is a deciduous shrub or small tree of the Rosaceae family, native to Southwest Asia. Botanically, it is characterized by large, single white-pink flowers and entire leaves. The fruit is a hard, fuzzy, intensely fragrant yellow pome that is pear- or apple-shaped, depending on the variety. Nutritionally, the fruits are exceptional in their high fiber content, especially pectins, which have excellent gelling properties. They are a source of vitamin C, copper, and iron. The phytochemical profile is defined by a high concentration of tannins, which cause the raw fruit to be bitter (which is why it is rarely eaten raw). After heat treatment, these substances change, causing the typical reddish color of the products. The peel contains unique essential oils, responsible for the strong aroma.

Quince rootstocks:

Quince S1
Significantly reduces tree growth, making it ideal for intensive dense plantings and small gardens. Ensures very early fruiting, high crop efficiency, and has a positive effect on fruit size and color.

Quince A
It produces medium-strong growth (semi-dwarf), which is an ideal compromise between vitality and productivity. Compared to dwarf types, it anchors better in the soil, is more adaptable to poorer soil conditions, has higher frost resistance, and guarantees stable and high yields.
