Description
This large bright-yellow fuzzy quince, a cousin of pears and apples, is getting a boost from the Agricultural Research Service and making a comeback. In Colonial times, many American orchards boasted at least one quince and vendors sold them along with pears and apples. Jumbo Quince fruits are hard and sour when raw. When heated their flesh turns rosy, soft and sweet. An excellent variety for making tarts, pies, butters, marmalades and jellies. The fragrant aroma from the fruit of the jumbo quince has an appealing drawing to large wildlife. The jumbo fruit typically ripens in October through December. The Jumbo Quince is disease tolerant and cold hardy growing in zones 5-9. Choose Willis Orchards for top-quality quince fruit trees for sale!
