I can get you some Chinese Quince. Psuedocydonia sinensis seeds.

I no one has some I can keep an eye open this year; there is one growing in an Arboretum not too far away. It blooms beautifully, I never looked for fruits.
I long for fruits, you can hardly find any here (best jam in the world!).

Quince seed? Simply Quince seed? I have a tree in my garden;Antalya, Turkey. I am not sure thaat I understand it correctly. Because, it is so easy to find it here..Buy one kilo quince, it has so many seeds..If so, I can send you..:)

Hi Arnold,
I was not aware of this species and had to look it up but when you offer me some seeds I say yes, thank you very much! I'll PM you my address :)
It is not commonly grown in Norway, if at all. Nice to try!

Hi ikizzeki!
Yes, simple quince! It is rarely grown here but I know it is hardy enough so I will try it. I can't be sure of getting ripe fruits but I hope for flowers at least!
I'll PM you my address.

Gabriela, if you find any that is fine! Should be hardy enough for me from that part of the world :) But don't stress!

Tomorrow I am going to garden to see if there are some fruit. If there is nothing, dont worry ,
I.ll buy and try to send seeds after eating. :)

I have many Cydonia oblonga fruits under my quince tree. I think I can get seeds from them. So you would have seeds from a tree which grows in a colder climate too.
You are right these trees have wonderful flowers, the latest of all fruit trees in the spring.
But do you really want to grow a tree from seed?
I live in Bavaria 6b with a bad microclimate and lots of rain and I always have ripe fruits.
So I think you will get ripe fruits too. With a good cultivar you will get better ones. And there are some cultivars you can eat the fruits raw (Krymsk or Krymska) even in your climate.

Hi Sibylle,
I would very much like to try your quince seeds! Interesting to compare from different sources.
I'll send you a PM.
-
That would be a nice memory of my tree. :)
I think I have to replace it.
Three of its big branches had a serious accident this autumn in which my triplets were maybe involved.
Now I suppose the fungi will kill it. :P
I will replace it with Krymsk.
-
Sibylle ! You have triplets?

Well done!!
-
Thank you Maggi,
I think I should introduce myself.
Until now I was more a silent member, but than I got a hint from Hans about this quince threat.
I think there is an indroduce page, Hans gave me this hint too. :)
See you on this page, Sibylle

There has been quince growing in my garden since before the 1980's, long before the house was built. It is multistemmed suckers and forms part of my neighbours hedge too. It has lots of blossom each year but very few fruits form, and never any worth collecting. Small and scabby mostly. Is this because it is in a shady corner and now overshadowed by a large sycamore? It gets sun for a good part of the day until maybe mid afternoon, but the soil may be quite dry.

Brian:
This sounds like the Japanese quince, Chaenomeles.
I believe it is a different genus than the one Trond was inquiring about.
I've had a jam made from this one. Needs a lot of sugar to make it taste worthy.

Arrived today, Thanks Arnold :)

No it's the real thing. I have the other too elsewhere.
