Chaenomele

Chaenomeles or Quince are grown for their early five petalled, single or double flowers, which are followed by apple like, edible fruits in Autumn. They bear alternately arranged simple toothed leaves and look beautiful if trained up a wall or left as a shrub.They should be grown in moderately fertile, well drained soil in fun or partial sunlight. After flowering, Chaenomeles can be cut back to younger, stronger stems.
