Our Variety Assessment

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

Leskovacz suits gardens and orchards seeking a quince that is convenient to process. Its rounded, relatively smooth-skinned fruit is easy to peel, juicy and highly aromatic, excellent for juice, jelly and quince paste. We recommend it for culinary quality and good storage. A second quince, particularly Vranja, can improve the consistency and size of the crop.
