Chaenomeles superba Knap Hill Scarlet - Flowering Quince
Availability: In stock
The Japanese Quince is something of a grannies favourite, producing masses of scarlet-red flowers in spring, followed by rather plain foliage and large yellow fruit. Vicious spines will also keep unwanted visitors out when used as a hedge. This tough shrub will flourish in the worst of garden soils whether positioned in full sun or partial shade and is hardy to point of almost being unstoppable.
Supplied in approx 2 litre containers.
