🌿 Quince Seeds (Cydonia oblonga)
💰 Price: Package of 5 Seeds
🍇 The quince (Cydonia oblonga) is a deciduous tree native to temperate regions of Southwest Asia and the Caucasus. Known for its fragrant, golden-yellow fruit, it belongs to the Rosaceae family, which also includes apples and pears. The tree can grow up to 5–8 meters (16–26 feet) tall and 4–6 meters (13–20 feet) wide, with leaves that are dense, pubescent, and simple in shape. In spring, the tree produces attractive white or pink flowers that grow about 5 cm across, followed by the development of the fruit.
The quince fruit is quite hard and astringent when raw but becomes sweet and tender once cooked. Quince has a rich historical use in cooking, often made into jams, jellies, or even quince cheese. While raw quinces are not typically consumed, they are renowned for their use in making marmalade, pies, and stews.
The tree itself is relatively hardy and grows well in temperate climates, requiring both sun and some shade to thrive. Quinces are often used as rootstock for pear cultivars and are essential in many traditional recipes.
🌱 Cultivation & Propagation:
Soil Type: Quince thrives in soils with low to medium pH, from sandy to loamy soils. It tolerates poor soil conditions but prefers well-drained, fertile soil.
Light: While quince trees tolerate both sun and partial shade, optimal fruit production requires full sunlight.
Climate: Prefers cooler climates with temperatures under 7°C (45°F) to flower properly. It can withstand cold winters but requires a warm summer for fruit ripening.
🌾 Planting & Care Instructions:
Seeding:
Soak the seeds for 24 hours before planting to improve germination.
Cold stratify seeds for 4–6 weeks (store in a refrigerator in damp sand) to break dormancy.
Plant seeds about 2.5 cm (1 inch) deep in well-drained, moist soil, and press lightly to ensure good seed-to-soil contact.
Keep the soil temperature between 18-20°C (64-68°F) during germination. Germination usually occurs within 30–60 days.
Transplanting:
When seedlings have grown to about 15 cm (6 inches), transplant them to larger pots or directly into the ground, depending on the season.
The tree may take 2–3 years to reach maturity and bear fruit.
Watering:
Water the quince tree regularly during its growing season to keep the soil consistently moist, but avoid waterlogging. Quince trees have low drought tolerance once established.
Reduce watering in winter when the tree is dormant.
Pruning:
Regularly prune to maintain the tree’s shape and remove dead or damaged branches. Pruning should ideally be done during late winter or early spring before new growth starts.
For commercial use, quinces are pruned into a single trunk for better fruit production. This helps to focus energy into the central stem.
Fertilization:
Fertilize the quince tree with a balanced, slow-release fertilizer in early spring and again in mid-summer. Avoid over-fertilizing, as this can lead to excessive growth without fruit production.
Pests and Diseases:
Quince trees are generally pest-resistant, but they can suffer from fungal diseases like quince leaf blight or cedar-quince rust. Regular inspection and maintenance can help prevent outbreaks.
Use organic fungicides if needed, particularly during wet seasons.
🌸 Uses of Quince:
Culinary:
Quinces are primarily used for cooking due to their tough texture and sour taste when raw. They are commonly used to make jams, jellies, quince marmalade, and fruit preserves. Cooking quince turns its flesh a reddish color and softens its flavor. Quinces are often combined with apples to enhance the flavor of pies and sauces.Beverages:
Quince is used to make a distinctive fruit liquor called rakija in the Balkans, which is distilled and enjoyed in many European cultures. The aromatic nature of the fruit also lends itself well to making liqueurs and quince-infused spirits.Ornamental:
Beyond their culinary uses, quince trees are valued for their ornamental flowers and shape, making them a popular choice for landscaping and bonsai. Their beautiful blooms in spring and golden fruit in autumn make them a lovely addition to any garden.Medicinal:
Historically, quinces were also valued for their medicinal properties, including for treating digestive issues. The high pectin content makes quince an effective natural remedy for digestive health.
