Pseudocydonia sinensis Rosaceae

Pseudocydonia sinensis is a large shrub to small tree, ranging in size from about 3 m to (well over) 10 m. The densely branched crown is narrowly oval to narrowly vase-shaped. The smooth bark is dark brown and flakes off in small plates to reveal the greenish-yellow lower bark. The leaves are slightly variable in shape and shiny dark green on the upper side. Especially when young, the underside of the leaves is yellowish-grey hairy. In autumn, the leaves turn yellow before falling off. The single, pink flowers open in April and May, at the same time as the leaves unfurl. They somewhat resemble the flowers of Cydonia oblonga, but are darker pink in colour. The flowers are followed by spectacular fruits. These dark yellow fruits are oval and can grow up to 16 cm in size, but ripen well only after warm, sunny summers. The edible fruits have a fresh sour smell and can be processed in the same way as quinces.
Pseudocydonia sinensis is a Chinese species that was introduced to England in the late 18th century, but subsequently fell into oblivion. In 1898, the species was reintroduced from Italy. It is a warmth-loving tree that has no specific soil requirements, as long as drainage is good. Very suitable for use as a park tree in (small) gardens.
