Chinese Quince – Chaenomeles sinensis 30 Seeds | Edible Fragrant Flowering Tree Exfoliating Bark | Fall Color | Bonsai & Hedge Plant

Grow a striking ornamental fruit tree with this 30-seed pack of Chinese Quince (Chaenomeles sinensis). This hardy deciduous shrub or small tree is admired for its fragrant pink spring flowers, large aromatic fruit, brilliant fall color, and uniquely beautiful exfoliating bark that peels to reveal patches of gray, green, and brown.

Typically reaching 10–20 feet tall with a rounded, spreading habit, Chinese Quince makes an excellent specimen tree, hedge, screen, or espalier. In mid to late spring, soft pink cup-shaped flowers bloom before or alongside glossy green leaves. By fall, the tree produces large, fragrant citron-yellow fruits (4–7 inches), ideal for jams and jellies.

Autumn foliage turns vibrant shades of yellow and red, adding multi-season interest. Wind tolerant and adaptable, it is also popular for bonsai and attracts butterflies and pollinators.
