Chinese Quince – Chaenomeles sinensis 10 Seeds | Edible Fragrant Flowering Tree Exfoliating Bark | Fall Color | Bonsai & Hedge Plant

Grow a beautiful and unique ornamental fruit tree with these 10 Chinese Quince (Chaenomeles sinensis) seeds. This hardy deciduous shrub or small tree is prized for its fragrant spring flowers, large aromatic fruit, striking fall color, and stunning exfoliating bark that reveals a mosaic of gray, green, and brown patches.

Chinese Quince typically grows 10–20 feet tall (occasionally taller) with a rounded, spreading habit. In mid to late spring, soft pink, cup-shaped flowers appear before or with the glossy green foliage. By fall, the tree produces large, citron-yellow, highly fragrant fruits (4–7 inches) that are excellent for jams and jellies.

The glossy leaves turn shades of yellow and red in autumn, adding seasonal interest. Its wind tolerance and dense habit make it suitable for hedges, screens, espalier, and bonsai. It is also attractive to butterflies and pollinators.
