Buy one, you won't regret it  :)

I have a Vranja quince tree and would recommend it as a variety.   It has lovely white flowers in spring as well as the golden yellow fruits in October.  Mine fruited from year 2 and is now 8-10 years old.  I keep it pruned so I can reach the fruit and if I am mulching or feeding that bit of garden it gets its share.  No special care required at all.

 I have had a couple of years where I got nothing, more due to bad weather at flowering time than anything else, other than that it has been problem free.  This year it has been loaded with fruit.

Everything I have tried with quince has won me over.  Jelly is a favourite, chutney is great, brandy even better and I have also made lemon flavoured quince conserve this year, which has yet to be sampled.  Apple pie with quince is also fantastic  8)

I got mine from DT Brown, but that was obviously a while ago. 

Hang on a week or so and at least one of the big mail order companies will do a free P&P deal for Black Friday  ;)
