hi i am looking for some help on quince tree varieties I will be ordering some trees from grimonuts ( www.grimonuts.com ) and they carry 3 varieties of quince Cook's Jumbo Quince of Portugal Giant of Zagreb they seem to be getting them from V Kraus nurseries ( http://www.krausnurseries.com ) does anyone have any experience with these or know the difference it is difficult to find any info online
I bought a Le Borgeot quince last year from Le Couteau Farms in Central Saanich, outside Victoria. For what it's worth their website lists the following two : CHAMPION Large squat shaped fruit. Sweet, golden yellow fruit. Good for jelly and jam. Tree grows 4-5 metres. Big light pink flowers. Ripens during October extremely hardy and reliable. Self-fertile. Le BORGEOT Large pear shaped fruit. Good for jelly and jam. Tree grows to 4-5 metres. Big, light pink flowers.
i ended up getting this one: is anyone familiar with the variety? Giant of Zagreb http://www.grimonut.com/catalog.php?catID=72
