Fiery red flowers of Japanese Quince on bare spring branchesArbustos

Japanese Quince is among the earliest-flowering shrubs in spring. From February, fiery red, pink, or white flowers can appear on still-bare branches. Later, small, hard quince fruits follow that are edible when cooked. The thorny branches also make the plant suitable as an informal hedge.

Guía de cuidados

Plant in sun or partial shade in ordinary garden soil. Japanese Quince is very tolerant and thrives in almost any soil. Water regularly in the first year; after that, the plant is self-sufficient. Can also be trained as an espalier against a wall for spectacular flowering.

Consejos de poda

Prune right after flowering by cutting back overlong shoots. For espalier-trained plants, trim side shoots to two or three buds. Remove dead wood and crossing branches. Wear gloves because of the thorns.
