Quince Pineapple

Pineapple Quince

Pineapple Quince produces large, fragrant fruit with a firm texture and a sweet-tart flavor. It is particularly useful for baking, jelly, and other cooked preparations.

Large white flowers, lightly touched with pink, add a spring display before yellow fruits develop for an autumn harvest. This Burbank selection was developed for good cooking quality.

Choose full sun. The tree is self-fertile and has a relatively low chilling requirement of around 300 hours.
