Like all Quinces, Meech's Prolific (Cydonia oblonga 'Meech's Prolific'), which was first introduced in the United States in 1880, has fruiting and ornamental qualities producing large subtle pink flowers and very large, pear-shaped fruit. The Quinces are yellow when ripe.
This Quince may carry many of it's bad American habits with it such as eating more than it's own body weight per day, thinking the rest of the World should be grateful for it's existence and invade oil rich countries.
Type of Quince: Cooking
Time of picking: October
Fertility: This Quince variety is self-fertile, so there is no need for another Quince to act as a pollination partner for it to produce fruit.
This Quince tee is supplied at a height of between 1.25 and 1.5 metres in a 12 litre container, which means that the tree has an already established root system and therefore this tree can be planted any time of the year and with better results than either bare-root or rootballed trees.
We will include a message card included at no additional cost if required.
Quince Tree Rootstock Explained
Quince A (Half Standard): This means that the stem or main trunk of the tree will be clear of branches for 1 metre or more. Ideal for most gardens as this enables the owner to gain easier access underneath the canopy for mowing and possibly companion planting.

Wet Ground
If you have wet conditions then choose a PEAR TREE first, followed by APPLE TREES. They don't prefer it but will tolerate water, H2O or liquid better, depending which one you have most of!
General Fruit Tree Life Expectancy
Most fruit trees will give you AT LEAST 40 years of fruit. Pears can go to 70. Records of 200 year old trees exist but this is the exception, not the rule.
