Delighted!

Post by p.penn »

I planted a quince tree 2 or 3 years back, and the first year I got 4 or 5 fruits (they were already on the tree when I bought it) which is enough to make a gallon of wine, but since then, although there has been masses of blossom and little fruits, only one of two have grown to maturity, so they have gone to waste }hairout{

I have tentatively checked today and yippee! I have 5 or maybe even 6 )c( I am wondering when to harvest them though >coc<

Lucky you! I have a small quince that was a picture when in blossom but all five of the small fruits fell off. Fingers crossed for next year if it follows the pattern of yours. )t'
