Our Variety Assessment

Its strengths, growing requirements and the conditions in which it performs best.

Rudenkoana suits gardens and orchards seeking an unusual, vigorous and hardy quince. We recommend it primarily for processing, as its aromatic fruit is well suited to jelly, preserves, quince paste and bottling. Regular cropping and adaptability are its main strengths. It is less suitable for growers whose priority is a mild quince intended for eating fresh.
