Growing and Training

Leskovac is very resistant to leaf rust infections which can affect quinces. It is also is one of the hardiest of quince varieties, but even so try to plant in a sunny position if possible. Training against a south-facing wall is a good idea if you live in a northerly climate, as this will promote good quality fruit as well as being an attractive garden feature.

Leskovac is self-fertile and no pollination partner is required.
