Orange Quince Tree – Fragrant, Tangy Fruit for Exquisite Dishes 🍏🌳

The Orange Quince Tree is a vibrant, stunning variety that produces large, aromatic fruit with a distinctly tangy flavor and tender texture that becomes irresistibly sweet once cooked. The golden-orange fruit is known for its intense fragrance and bold flavor, making it perfect for creating luxurious jams, delicate fruit tarts, and elegant desserts. The Orange Quince Tree is a self-pollinating variety, which means you can enjoy chemical-free fruit with minimal care required. Its high yield and exquisite fruit make it a wonderful addition to any garden or orchard, offering both beauty and flavor in every harvest.


USDA Growing Zones and Chill Hours

  • Thrives in USDA Zones 5-10
  • Requires 400-600 chill hours, perfect for regions with cool winters ❄️

Pollination & Fruit Production

  • Pollination: The Orange Quince Tree is self-pollinating, so it can produce fruit with just one tree. However, planting additional trees will help increase fruit size and yield.
  • Recommended Varieties: Although self-pollinating, planting additional Quince varieties will improve pollination and produce a larger harvest.
  • Fruit Description: The fruit is large, round, with a bright orange skin and smooth, tender flesh that becomes sweet and fragrant when cooked.
  • Taste: These quinces are known for their tart, tangy flavor that transforms into a delicious sweetness once cooked, making them perfect for both savory and sweet applications.
  • Ripening Time: The fruit ripens in fall, typically from October to November, providing a late-season harvest of aromatic quinces.

How to Plant & Grow Orange Quince Trees

  • Sun Requirements 🌞: Full sun for at least 6-8 hours a day ensures optimal growth and fruit production.
  • Soil Requirements 🌿: Prefers slightly acidic to neutral, well-draining soil (pH 6.0-7.5) enriched with organic material to support healthy root development.
  • Spacing 🌳: Space trees 12-15 feet apart to ensure proper air circulation and enough space for growth.
  • Mature Size 🌳: The Orange Quince Tree typically grows to a mature height of 12-15 feet, making it suitable for both small gardens and larger orchards.

Step-by-Step Planting Instructions

  • 1️⃣ Prepare the Soil πŸ§‘β€πŸŒΎ: Select a sunny location with slightly acidic, well-draining soil. Amend with compost or organic material to improve soil fertility.
  • 2️⃣ Dig a Hole πŸ•³οΈ: Dig a hole at least twice the size of the root ball to allow enough space for the roots to establish.
  • 3️⃣ Position the Plant 🌿: Place the tree in the hole, ensuring that the root ball is level with the surrounding soil surface.
  • 4️⃣ Backfill & Water πŸ’§: Fill the hole with soil, pressing gently to remove air pockets, and water thoroughly to settle the roots in place.
  • 5️⃣ Mulch Around the Base 🌱: Apply mulch or Weed Pro Weed Mats around the base to help retain moisture and prevent weed growth around the tree.

Ongoing Care & Maintenance

  • Watering πŸ’§: Keep the soil consistently moist during the first year. Once established, water deeply once a week, especially during dry spells.
  • Pruning βœ‚οΈ: Prune the tree annually to remove dead or damaged wood and to shape it for better airflow and fruit production.
  • Fertilizing πŸƒ: Apply Nutra-Pro 1st Year Fertilizer Paks to encourage healthy root growth. For mature trees, use a balanced fertilizer annually in early spring to support fruiting.
  • Protection πŸ›‘οΈ: Use Max Growth Tree Shelters to protect young trees from pests, animals, and extreme weather πŸŒ³πŸ›‘οΈ.
