Product description
Quince 'Crimson and Gold' is one of the earliest flowering varieties of the flowering quince. Crimson-red, single flowers appear already in early April and in combination with golden stamens, they contrast beautifully against the background of dark green leaves. 'Crimson and Gold' quince grows slowly and grows up to 1.2m tall.
The fruits are green at first, with time they take on a yellow color. They are very hard and aromatic - ideal for tinctures, preserves, teas (they can replace lemon due to their acidity). They contain a lot of vitamins and fiber. It looks good on rockeries, both planted in groups and singly.
The quince tree is an interesting decoration of every garden and orchard, even without flowers or fruit. It tolerates periodic drought well and does not have high soil requirements. It prefers moist, fertile and permeable soils with an acidic to neutral reaction and a sunny, sheltered position.
It looks good on rockeries, both planted in groups and singly.
