Quinces

Quince trees are an excellent choice for fan-training on a warm wall.

Quinces are attractive pear-like fruits used primarily in the kitchen.

Quinces lend themselves to being trained as fans. They benefit from the warmth of the microclimate of a sunny wall or fence, and fan-training shows off their attractive blossom and interesting branches.

The fruits are also very attractive, and their fragrance brings an extra dimension to jams and jellies and as an addition to other stewed fruit.
