Spring brings masses of large, double, vividly-orange flowers creating an intense color display! This handsome 4-5' quince is completely low-maintenance, thornless, and fruitless. A fantastic selection that withstands drought, heat and deer! This shrub is wonderful as a hedge, border or specimen. S/M-D

Big, richly colored, double orange flowers provide a stunning early spring display. Drought tolerant once established, it may be pruned to shape after flowering. Intense spring color. Good for cut flowers. Thornless and deer resistant, it does not produce fruit. Good for espalier.

A new Quince in the trade that WILL make you do a double take! With big bold orange flowers that look like a Camellia -- double flowers in early spring and WITHOUT THORNS OR FRUIT! Well honestly, unless you want to make Quince jelly, the fruit isn't overly attractive. It's extremely drought tolerant once established. Superb for hedges, in masses and for flower arrangements! This is a deep, deep, near red orange. This isn't pumpkin orange - it's deep reddish orange. PPAF
