Ornamental quinces, also called false quinces, do not have any great demands in terms of location and care, as long as they get enough sun. The sunnier the place, the more buds they will develop. The space required depends on the ornamental quince variety.
Ornamental quinces like it particularly sunny
Choose a location that is as sunny as possible for your ornamental quinces. Then you can count on a magnificent spring bloom.
The soil should be slightly nutritious and well loosened. The plants are hardy and do not need winter protection.
Keep as a hedge or specimen plant
Chinese false quinces are particularly suitable as hedge plants, because they are up to five meters taller than Japanese ornamental quinces.
The beautiful flowers and decorative edible fruits of the Japanese Quince come into their own when planted individually as an ornamental shrub.
tips and tricks
Keeping ornamental quinces in the garden also makes sense from an ecological point of view. The dense shrubs provide good shelter for birds and other small garden dwellers. The flowers are an important food source for insects and bees.
