Description
Pseudocydonia sinensis. False Chinese Quince. The best small tree that I could possibly recommend, year round features hardy to almost anything Australian gardens can throw at it. Very attractive pink blossom in late spring , in summer becoming large egg shaped yellow green edible fruit. Excellent for conserves ,jellys or tasty pickled quinces great with pork dishes. The foliage turns electric reds to yellows in autumn and the bark on an older tree is equal to a birch or crepe myrtle. A lovely small tree with a rustic red outline to its foliage and exceedingly hardy and will fit into smaller yards. With all the Ornamental Pears being planted ( which have there place ) don’t forget about this stunning smaller tree that ticks every box.
