Nancy Kirker on Mar 24, 2014ornamental quince. Pretty and hardy. Dig up the suckers and share. probably needs fertilizing for fruit production. I break up the soil around the roots and add cow manure in with soil. Be sure to have good soil cover over manure or you will have big flies and a definite smell when the sun comes out.Helpful Reply

Elizabeth P on Mar 26, 2014A quince will spread from the roots and become larger in diameter as time goes on. It's the nature of the plant, so plant where it can grow naturally. I rarely prune mine.Helpful Reply

Evelyn R on Jul 19, 2014My quince has fruit and I do nothing to it or for it ... the people I bought this house from, 25 yrs ago planted it and it was established then ... have no idea how old it might be - Native Americans used the thorns as pins to hold things together ... I prune mine severely every 2 yrs because it's right behind the house.Helpful Reply
