Ordered my first ever fruit trees for the garden at my new house in Aug - Vranja, Bramley, Saturn (eating apple), Majorie's Seedling, Merryweather and Louise Bon Boone Jersey. Waited in anticipation for delivery and the bareroot trees and stakes arrived in early December very well packed with clear planting instructions. Managed to get them in the ground next day despite the weather. Been keenly checking them almost daily for signs of growth and all now have green buds with the Quince in leaf. Looking forward to many years of fruit. Very happy with them and will be back for some some plants soon. Thankyou Blackmoor.

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 Vranja I have just received is one fine specimen. Thankyou so much everyone at Blackmoors. I love my tree!

We bought this tree a year ago and it produced a single perfect quince in its' first year. It now has in April 2014 the most fabulous white pink tinged blossom and we hope for a bigger crop this year.

A very healthy looking 'Vranja' Quince arrived beautifully wrapped and ready to go. Thank you Blackmore, I will be back and will certainly recommend others to use your website.

I asked for a delay in order delivery and it came when requested, beautifully packaged and in great condition. I have always had very reliable service from Blackmoor and also the fact that they don't charge more to deliver to my area means that I will keep coming back to them.

This is the first time I have purchased trees from you and I am delighted with the advice and service I have received. Nothing was too much trouble and you were very patient in dealing with my many questions. I collected my trees, a Quince and a cherry, yesterday and they will be delivered to my family today. I know they will be as pleased as I am with the size and quality of the trees. I will have no hesitation in purchasing from you in the future and I have already recommended you to several friends.

This is my third order - the first two orders were larger order and I found the site very clear and easy to use with plenty of information on each variety which allowed me to make informed choices on varieties suitable for growing this far north. Will be back again (and again !)

Cydonia oblonga Quince Vranga 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 3.5m (12ft) 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.
