I only get a few quince fruits on my bush, but a neighbor told me to clip a branch from another variety and bring it home and hang it in my bush if I want fruit. It has to be in bloom (of course).cyndyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18006126625281714507noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11925924.post-62625315422455064492007-04-19T10:22:00.000+00:002007-04-19T10:22:00.000+00:00You might be right -- the flowers do look very sim...You might be right -- the flowers do look very similar. I don't remember seeing any fruit on it last autumn, but then again, I wasn't specifically looking. Will try to watch this year. It's not actually mine however -- it's on my neighbour's side of the boundary -- so not sure if I should really be stealing fruit off it! :)Jessica at Bwlchyrhydhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16003432996223619115noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11925924.post-54896301246291879772007-04-18T22:51:00.000+00:002007-04-18T22:51:00.000+00:00I'm not sure about your mystery plant, but it coul...I'm not sure about your mystery plant, but it could be a Japonica aka Japanese Quince (Chaenomeles speciosa). If it is, you can use the yellow fruits to make quince jelly in the autumn!<BR/>Nice blog by the way.Moonroothttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02034336153685658320noreply@blogger.com
