'Red Japanese Flowering Quince'
Single rich crimson red flowers in spring, on a deciduous shrub to 1.5m x 1.5m tall. Fruits can be used for jams and jellies. Frost tolerant. Easy to grow in most sites and situations. (GOOD FOR: FLOWERS, FRUIT, HEDGE, SPECIMEN)
Our experience using these in the Auckland region:
I like using these as clipped hedges to around 70cm tall - they flower in the spring, have fruit in the autumn which makes great jams/jellys/food for the birds, and only need trimming once a year.
