    No experience of that variety.

    Actually, I'm on my first year with a quince - got it in the bargain bucket, with no label, so no idea which variety it is. I've got mine in a wooden half barrel tub against a wall in my secret garden. It's in shade so I'm hoping it will be ok.

    Hi Alex

    Its the best variety to have in the UK and its self fertile so you dont need another Quince for it to set fruit , need full sun .

    Good choice
