Grower Tips: 

Double Take quince are fast to produce, but require a full year in the nursery if they are to be sold in bloom. This is because they bloom on old wood, so trimming to increase branching and plant body will remove flower buds. If in-bud or in-bloom sale is not crucial, as in sales to landscapers and contractors, plants can be produced and sold in the same season.

Prune 2-3 times during the growing season to develop a full bodied plant. Stop trimming in late July to allow flower buds to form for sale the following season.  Heaviest bud set is on two-year-old wood, so avoid cutting into oldest parts of the plant.

Watch for spider mites; practice good sanitation to minimize the disease that typically occur on members of the rose family.

Potting a 2 ¼” liner directly to a 3 gallon is not recommended.
