Description

Chaenomeles japonica

Japanese flowering Quince are medium-sized, deciduous shrubs that will put on a beautiful display of flowers from late winter to mid-summer. Berries arrive after flowering time. They are edible but usually too bitter to eat directly from the bush. They are usually preserved for jams. It is happy in a wide range of conditions but is best situated in full sun in well-drained loamy soils. It is also able to tolerate windy and coastal areas and is frost tolerant!
