Meeches Prolific Quince is making a "Comeback" in recent years and has become a very popular garden choice. Popularised by celebrity chefs in the last 5 years - we have seen significant sales of this variety. Meeches Prolific is one of the best fruiting quinces for the British climate. Meeches Prolific is self-fertile, flowers in May and carries good crops of large, highly scented golden fruit - they can be really large - up to 1/2 Kg ( 1lb ) each which are ready for picking in October.
We sell the tree in 3 formats depending on the time of year & availability:
1BR = 1 year old maiden bare root tree sold from Nov to Spring. Approx 120 - 150cm tall. Bare roots will be wrapped in a bag.
2BR = 2 year old bare root tree sold from Nov to Spring. Approx 120 - 150cm tall. The tree will have been grown an extra year in our fields and benefits from a thicker trunk / root system and will be more likely to produce fruit this coming summer.
9L = 2 year old tree that has spent approx 1 year growing in a poly pot ( polythene 9 litre bag ). Approx 120 - 150cm tall. The tree will benefit from a more developed root system and can be planted all year round. The tree will also haves a thicker trunk and will be more likely to produce fruit this summer.
Please note we start taking orders for Bare root trees from approx 2nd week in November when the trees have become dormant for the winter.
