Our Variety Assessment

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

Aromatnaya suits sunny gardens with deep, moisture-retentive but well-drained soil. We recommend it to growers seeking a highly aromatic and versatile quince: excellent for jelly and baking, it can also be eaten raw in thin slices when fully ripe. Fresh-eating quality depends on sufficient autumn warmth, and the fruit remains firmer in cooler growing conditions.

SKU: 4410 Category: Quince trees

Description

Aromatnaya is a heavy-cropping self-fertile quince.

Although primarily a fruit for cooking with, Aromatnaya is also one of the few quinces that can be eaten raw.

The fruits should be picked and then left to ripen for a few days in a fruit bowl. They have a tropical flavour, somewhat reminiscent of melon or pineapple. They add an unusual touch if grated thinly on to fruit salads.
