BARE ROOT Portugal Quince Tree. Click The Link For Containerised Portugal Quince Trees
An early ripening variety of Quince so you can expect to be cooking with them from late September which is to say if you experience "normal" weather patterns you can have them then. If you last saw your Portugal Quince tree floating off in the pot down the street because of severe flooding, it is highly unlikely you will get a harvest of Quince fruits that year. That being said it does produce high quality Quince fruits that turn pink when cooked. Apparently good for making marmalade .
Time of picking: Late September
Fertility: This Quince variety is not self-fertile, so you will need another Quince to guarantee fruit unless you have another Quince tree within a few miles of you. A housing estate or reasonable sized community is likely to have this.
Our Quince, Portugal is supplied at a height of between 1.0 and 2.0 metres as a Maiden on a Quince A rootstock. This means that we have not shaped it in anyway and all being well, the final height will be 3.5 metres.
We will include a message card included at no additional cost if required.
Do I Need To Stake My Bare Root Tree?
Usually no, especially if under 200cm tall. Our article on Tree Staking should help guide you.
Planting In The Corner Of A Garden
Usually air and light is reduced and if it is a corner with a wooden fence and the house then leeching from both could compound issues. Try to avoid.
1 Year Maiden Bare Root Trees
If you plant a 1 Year maiden tree and do not prune it at all, it will grow a little more upright and have more clear stem.
