Показать описание
The habit of Flowering Quince or Chaenomelesis is open and wide-spreading with an interlacing network of thorny stems.

The orangish red blooms appear in late winter on bare stems and may remain as the leaves appear. The blooms are complemented by creamy-white stamens.

For best flowering, grow flowering quince in full sun. Prune in the spring after flowering is complete, as blooming takes place on old wood. Pruning in the spring will also stimulate growth for more blooms the following year.

This plant spreads by suckers. Removing them will help control the spread and replanting them is one of the ways Chaenomelesis can be propagated.

The fruits are edible, with a bitter taste when eaten raw. They can be used in making jellies and other preserves.

Ongoing wet weather may cause fungal leaf spot, which can cause defoliation. New growth can be affected by aphids. Occasionally, scale and mites may be an issue.

USDA plant hardiness zones 5-9
