An invaluable smaller growing Quince which has been selected on our nursery and we finally have sufficient trees to offer on a limited basis. Trees in the open ground have shown a size reduction of around 30% over standard varieties Vranja and Meech’s Prolific making it easier to accomodate, but it is perhaps as a container tree that Patio Gold really comes into it’s own. Thriving in a 20-25 litre capacity container for many years bearing medium-large downy golden yellow aromatic fruits blessed with that indescribably unique flavour that only the Quince has. Doubling as an ornamental tree as well as a productive tree, with it’s beautiful soft pink blossom, another feature of this variety being the ochre gold Autumn leaf colour which really shines in the fall sunshine. If you haven’t thought about trying a Quince before, try this one. Patio Gold – remember the name, it won’t dissapoint.
Suplied at 90-120cm’s+, suitable for container growing open ground in any soil except the very light. Full sun preferred – frost hardy and self fertile.
We have in place very rigorous standards for the health,
providence and uniformity of all our fruiting plants & trees. Our Nursery and the stock we grow is
inspected and passported for health regularly by DEFRA experts [formerly the Ministry of Agriculture]
and we have in place our own stringent controls and inspection programmes to ensure our fruiting
bushes and trees are the best, most disease free stocks available and truly beyond compare.
We always propagate from certified stock where this exists and have the highest standards regarding providence
and grading. If only the very best will do – as it should – then you can rely on a Chris Bowers fruiting
plant to give the most exemplary results available. We firmly believe that only the very healthiest
stock can and does produce vastly superior results – and it shows.
