| Sold out: | |
Economy or Premium Selection
Economy - rooted into its pot but a further season before moving up a pot size.
Premium - more growth in its pot. More mature than Economy Not surprisingly with the name Quince Serbian Gold this variety of Quince originated from Serbia where it is known as ‘Leschovach’ A good hardy disease resistant variety suitable for most parts of the UK and like most quinces a stunning sight when the tree is covered in soft rose pink flowers. These are followed in autumn by large apple shaped golden fruits which after storing for a month or so at room temperature make very tasty quince style treats including Quince liqueur and Quince cheese.
Our Quince Serbian Gold bare rooted trees are lifted at the start of the bare root season in November, when the Quince trees become dormant, and made available through to March the following year. This period is the ideal time for economical planting. You will however have to wait a year to pick your crop as bare root trees cannot be picked in their first year. For all year round planting why not choose from our selection of container grown Quince trees. They do cost more but are older, more established and ready to crop.
We use and recommend planting with friendly myccorrhizal fungi such as Rootgrow. This helps to produce a stronger root system thereby aiding establishment. We also use and can supply Blood, Fish and Bone - a tried and trusted natural all round fertilizer. Alternatively, to help give your tree the best start you can incorporate our carefully blended mix of compost to help give your tree all the vital nutrients and minerals it needs to flourish in your garden. It is good practice to firmly secure and support your tree with a good stake and tie to aid in its establishment.
