Serbian Gold quince tree

Serbian Gold is an "apple-shaped" quince, which can be grown in most parts of the UK.

Like many quinces, Serbian Gold has some ornamental value, with the wood, leaves, pink/white blossom and fruit all being attractive.

The fruit should be picked towards the end of September in the UK, and then stored for 1-2 months at room temperature to ripen.
