Chinese Quince – Chaenomeles sinensis 60 Seeds | Edible Fragrant Flowering Tree Exfoliating Bark | Fall Color | Bonsai & Hedge Plant

Enhance your landscape with this 60-seed pack of Chinese Quince (Chaenomeles sinensis), a striking deciduous shrub or small tree prized for its fragrant pink spring flowers, large aromatic fruit, brilliant fall color, and beautiful exfoliating bark.

Chinese Quince typically grows 10–20 feet tall with a rounded, spreading habit. Its smooth bark peels in irregular patches, revealing a decorative mosaic of gray, green, and brown. In mid to late spring, soft pink, cup-shaped flowers bloom before or alongside glossy green foliage. By autumn, the tree produces large, citron-yellow, fragrant fruits (4–7 inches), ideal for jams and jellies.

The foliage turns vibrant shades of yellow and red in fall, providing multi-season interest. Wind tolerant and adaptable, Chinese Quince works well as a hedge, screen, specimen tree, espalier, or bonsai. It also attracts butterflies and pollinators.
