Quince - Pineapple

The Pineapple quince is a robust, self pollinating tree with large leaves, producing sizeable pale yellow fruit late in the season that emits a pineapple-like scent.Quince are not eaten fresh due to its acidity, but when stewed, the fruit softens, turns pink, and develops a delightful flavour and aroma. Ideal for making preserves and jellies, this hardy tree thrives in subtropical and temperate climates and prefers a sheltered spot protected from wind.

* Dormant in winter, no leaves.
