Description

Chaneomeles speciosa 'Falconnet Charlet' - flowering quince

APPEARANCE : Native to Asia, this fast-growing winter-flowering shrub has apricot-pink winter flowers on bare spiny branches
USE FOR : Informal boundary hedge, sheltering hedge for wildlife, feature shrub, can be espaliered against a wall. Small fragrant fruits are sour raw, but high in pectin and can be used to make jams.
PLANTING : Plant in pretty much any neutral to acid soil in a full sun to partly shaded position in the garden. Will even grow in heavy clay. Supposedly deer-resistant so try it with roos.
CARE : Mulch and water regularly until the plant is established, usually around 12 weeks. Flowering will only occur on old wood so prune as required after flowering to maintain shape and plant health, and fertilise with a slow release fertiliser in spring. Suited to most climates in Australia. Hardy to -20C
HEIGHT & WIDTH : 1.5-1.8m H x 2.4-3m W.
YOUR PLANTS : These are tubestock plants, healthy young plants with new roots that will establish quickly in your garden. The pot size is 80mm high and 42 mm wide.
