25 Apr 24 | Probably the heaviest cropper I've ever seen
I bought this tree about 7 years ago and planted it in my front yard. Didn't have much expectations because it was small and the first year didn't bear fruits. Then it took off, growing steadily over the years and cropping heavily (it's years it doesn't produce less than 10kg). Last year crop was 27kg of quinces, the year before 25kg, from a single tree about 2.3mt tall. Absolutely unbelievable Had to tie and support branches

'Consider it done', you said, and 'done' indeed it was. The dwarf quince arrived today and it's a superb specimen, a really smashing little tree, sturdy, beautifully proportioned, most carefully pruned to shape, and in excellent health. We shall take our responsibilities to it very seriously indeed. We've been gardening here for nearly forty years and have bought trees from many nurseries over that time, including such well-known ones as Burncoose and F.P. Matthews (just up the valley from us here, of course), but I don't think we've ever been so totally satisfied as we both are with this little quince. I suspect we'll be coming back to Blackmoor again -- but I'll try not to have quite so many questions next time! Thank you for answering them all so patiently and for sending such an excellent little tree.

Excellent tree - shame about the delivery We were advised by you that the tree had been picked up on the Thursday and would normally be a next-day delivery. We were very disappointed that it was not delivered until the following Monday (4 days later), which meant that the roots had dried out over the weekend. As one of the golden rules of gardening is to avoid the roots from drying out when transplanting, we are very disappointed with the carrier as we will not know until next year whether it has suffered.

I have now bought 3 of these Quince trees,1 for myself and 2 for neighbours! All of them arrived promptly and in beautiful condition! They are now planted and blooming! I am absolutely delighted with the service and will return in the future for more fruit trees!

I was bowled over to receive a 6ft tall sturdy quiince, just coming into leaf when all I was expecting was a young sapling maybe 2ft tall. The one delivered was a Terrific specimen and great value for money. Many thanks to all involved for that and for your great service.

Quince arrived securely packaged along with two blueberry bushes, all plants looking good. Good size, well pruned to a pleasing shape. Will be buying all trees and fruit bushes from Blackmoor in future, first class service.

I come back to Blackmoors time and time again because the fruit stock is second to none; the customer service is excellent; the packaging is sturdy; despatch is swift ie a few days rather than weeks. Again, this Dwarf Quince I have just received is one fine specimen. Thankyou so much everyone at Blackmoors. I love my tree!

I have just bought one of these and was so impressed with the quality a really healthy plant in superb condition. My family are from the region of Serbia where these are grown and looking at it evoked some wonderful childhood memories, I can't wait for it to start bearing fruit next year, when I will update this review.

We bought this tree a year ago and it looks splendid in spring with a lot of bushy growth and flowers in early April. Hoping for some fruit this year.
10 Apr 14 | Maggie Perkins
A really fine tree arrived yesterday. The quince looks in beautiful condition and the whole experience of buying from you was amazingly simple and efficient. Thank you.

My Dwarf Quince arrived in excellent condition, along with other trees, within a few days of ordering. I was kept thoroughly informed of the progress of my order, which was refreshing in an industry in which so many suppliers get marketing and customer communication so wrong. I will definitely be ordering again and wholeheartedly recommend Blackmoor.
Cydonia oblonga Quince Leskovacz Growing Tips.
Quinces tolerate a range of soil but grow best in a deep, fertile, moisture-retentive soil. Although they are hardy, they need a warm, sunny, sheltered spot, as the flowers are susceptible to frost, and sun is needed for the fruit to ripen.
In southern England they can be grown in the open, but farther north it is best planted in a sheltered position, for example against a wall with a south or south-west aspect.
Plant new quinces between November and March. Bush trees should be about 3m (10ft) apart Stake trees for the first three or four years.
Quinces are self-fertile and usually start cropping when four - five years old.
As with any fruiting tree, feeding and mulching is important. In February apply a general fertiliser, such as Growmore for example, at 100g per sq m (3oz per sq yd). In late March, apply sulphate of ammonia at 35g per sq m (1oz per sq yd). Mulch in early spring with well-rotted farmyard manure or compost, keeping the material clear of the tree trunk. Water well in dry during dry spells in spring and summer.
Harvesting The fruits should be left on the tree as long as possible to develop their flavour, provided there is no danger of frost. They usually ripen in late October or early November when they will be golden-coloured and aromatic. Only undamaged fruits should be picked and then stored in a cool, dark place on shallow trays. Ensure the fruits do not touch, and do not wrap them. Allow them to mellow for six and eight weeks before use. Quinces are strongly aromatic so avoid storing with other fruits. They will keep for two or three months.
Pruning and training Quinces fruit mostly on the tips of the shoots made the previous year. They do not form many fruiting spurs. Prune and train in the dormant season between late autumn and early spring. The branch framework is developed along the same lines as for an apple. After the fourth year, only light pruning is necessary, apart from the occasional removal of crowding or low-lying branches.
