Champion is a popular and regular-cropping quince, suitable for most of the drier areas of the UK.
The spring blossom is particularly attractive.
Next deliveries: December 2024 - February 2025
Champion prefers a dry location with a southern aspect - but is more tolerant of wetter conditions than other quinces.
Although considered self-fertile, in practice cropping is improved if there is a compatible pollinator - try planting Meech's Prolific or Serbian Gold nearby.
United States, 1870s.
