How to Grow and Care for Quince

Quince, also known as Common quince

Quince is generally considered easy to care for, thriving best when planted in well-draining soil and full sun exposure. Notably, it requires adequate water during the growing and fruiting seasons, with a special emphasis on regular irrigation intervals to ensure proper development. Winter care is minimal, but protection from severe frosts is essential to prevent damage, especially for younger trees. Pruning is required to maintain shape and promote healthy growth, typically conducted in late winter.
