CHINESE MANGO QUINCE & CHINESE FLOWERING QUINCE

Description

1x Pseudocydonia sinensis - Chinese Mango Quince (40-60cm tall)

A rarely offered, spreading, deciduous or semi-evergreen, small fruit tree, native to China. The Chinese Mango Quince has grey bark and finely-toothed, oval, dark-green leaves that have a purple hue when young during the Spring. Throughout spring, pink cup shaped flowers are in bloom and if it a hot summer are followed by ovoid fruits. The fruits can reach up to lengths of 15-25cm and as they ripen give off a sweet, intense aroma. They are hard when ripe, can be eaten fresh or can be preserved in syrups. The tree grows well in Britain against a south facing wall.

1x Chaenomeles japonica - Japanese Flowering Quince (15-20cm tall)

An unusual, vigorous, deciduous shrub that flowers in Spring, together or just before the new leaves appear. A fantastic ornamental the Japanese Flowering Quince, produces large, edible fruits later on in the year. With the shrub having spiny shoots and thorns, it can make an effective barrier when planted, especially in hedging. During the spring, masses of pinkish -peach flowers are formed in small clusters which stand out against its tinted purple, simple shaped leaves. Later on in the year, the leaves turn green. The huge, large apple sized, rounded fruits mature from September. They are hard when raw, but deliciously fragrant when cooked, excellent for jellies or jams. It grows equally well in full sun or partial shade; a well drained but moist soil is optimal, but it will grow well on almost any soil which is not too alkaline. It is hardy to temperatures as low as -20c.

Packaging and Postage

When sending plants, it is extremely important to pack them as securely as possible, therefore we don't use stuffing. Instead we have developed a unique packaging method which makes plant movement virtually impossible in the parcel. Each pot is wrapped, therefore the compost is securely locked during transit and the roots won't be disturbed. Your item will arrive in perfect condition to your door.

In almost all circumstances, we use royal mail 24h or 48h service to send your parcel with the delivery aim of 1-2 days in the UK (please note that this is not a guaranteed next day service); or royal mail International Tracked and Signed to overseas. You have the option for signed for and guaranteed next day delivery. Royal Mail has length limitations for small parcels, it cannot exceed 60cm. Sometimes, we may use a fully tracked service which requires a signature upon delivery. Please expect some delay around Bank Holidays.

We combine postage whenever possible. If you order more than one item, please always ask for an invoice if ebay does not automatically calculate the combined postage.

If you have any questions or you find anything not as expected about your received order, please do not hesitate to contact us and we will do our utmost to help.

It is important to us to care about the environment, so our plants are grown in reusable plastic pots and we pack our plants in recyclable cardboard boxes.
