Quince 'Meeches Prolific' - Shrub - Height 175cm - 10lt

Quince ‘Meeches Prolific’ is a highly regarded cultivar, celebrated for both its ornamental qualities and generous fruit production. This small, deciduous tree or large shrub typically reaches around 3–4 meters in height, making it well-suited to medium-sized gardens or orchards. In spring, it produces a delightful display of large, soft pink blossoms with a subtle fragrance, providing seasonal charm while also attracting pollinators.

Following the flowers, the tree bears an abundant crop of large, golden-yellow fruits, usually with a slightly irregular, rounded shape. As its name suggests, ‘Meeches Prolific’ is known for its heavy yields, often producing fruit at a younger age compared to other quince varieties. The fruits are highly aromatic, with a distinctive, perfumed scent, and though too hard and tart to eat raw, they are prized for culinary use. When cooked, the flesh transforms to a beautiful rose-pink, creating delicious jellies, jams, marmalades, and poached desserts.

Hardy and adaptable, this variety thrives in full sun and well-drained soil, requiring little maintenance. With its ornamental spring flowers, autumn harvest, and compact growth, ‘Meeches Prolific’ offers both beauty and productivity in the garden.
