Estimated delivery between Marsch 29 and April 01.

Quince (Cydonia oblonga) is a hardy, deciduous fruit tree that produces golden-yellow, highly aromatic fruits. Traditionally grown for centuries, quince is prized for its sweet-tart flavor and high pectin content, making it ideal for jams, jellies, and cooking. While raw quince is firm and astringent, it becomes soft, sweet, and fragrant when cooked, with a rich, honey-like taste.

Now, you can grow your own quince tree from naturally grown, non-GMO seeds with Dhara Seeds.

How to Grow Quince from Seeds

  1. Seed Preparation (Cold Stratification Required):

  3. Sunlight Requirements:
    • Requires full sun (6-8 hours daily) for healthy growth and fruiting.
