Ancient fruit. Extraordinary fragrance. The original quince.

Chaenomeles sinensis, the Chinese Quince, is the true quince of East Asian garden tradition, a slow-growing ornamental and fruiting tree native to China that produces large, aromatic, apple-like fruits with a fragrance so intense and persistent that a single ripe fruit placed in a room will scent the entire space for weeks. The bark is among the most ornamentally interesting of any flowering tree, peeling in irregular patches of gray, green, brown, and orange in a mosaic pattern comparable to the finest ornamental cherries. The white to pale pink flowers appear in spring before the leaves and the fruit, which cannot be eaten raw due to extreme astringency, is made into preserves, liqueurs, and medicinal preparations across China, Japan, and Korea. If you are looking to buy Chinese Quince seeds or grow this ancient ornamental from seed, this is the quince with the most complete combination of bark, flower, fruit, and fragrance of any quince species in cultivation.

  • Extraordinarily fragrant fruit placed in a room will scent it for weeks, one of the strongest natural fruit fragrances available
  • Beautiful mottled exfoliating bark in gray, green, brown, and orange, ornamental in every season
  • White to pale pink flowers in spring before leaf emergence, delicate and refined
  • Slow-growing and long-lived, developing extraordinary character and bark texture over decades
  • Used in traditional Chinese, Japanese, and Korean medicine and cuisine for centuries

Things you probably did not know about the Chinese Quince

The fragrance is used in traditional Japanese rooms as a natural air freshener. In Japan the Chinese Quince, called karin, has been placed in tokonoma alcoves, clothing chests, and living rooms specifically for its fragrance for centuries. A single ripe fruit can maintain its scent for months after harvest, making it one of the most persistent natural fragrances available from any plant. The scent is a complex combination of floral, honey, and spice notes that intensifies as the fruit ripens.

The fruit requires cooking but produces extraordinary preserves. Raw Chinese Quince is so astringent it is essentially inedible due to high tannin content. However, when cooked with sugar the tannins break down and the fruit produces deep rose-pink to ruby-red preserves and jellies with a flavor considered among the finest of any temperate fruit preserve. The pink color develops through a chemical reaction between the fruit's polyphenols and heat, the same process that gives quince paste its characteristic color.

The wood is extremely dense and was used for wooden clogs in East Asia. Chinese Quince wood is exceptionally hard and dense, close-grained and resistant to wear. In traditional East Asian craft it was used for furniture, tool handles, and wooden footwear because the extreme hardness made it durable in applications that softer woods could not withstand. The weight and density of the wood is immediately apparent when handling even small pieces.

It is closely related to but distinctly different from the Japanese Flowering Quince. The Japanese Flowering Quince, Chaenomeles speciosa, is far more commonly grown in western gardens as an ornamental. The Chinese Quince is a different species, growing into a true tree form rather than the shrub of the Japanese species, and producing much larger fruit with a more intense fragrance. The two plants are frequently confused in catalogs and nursery trade.

Bright & Pretty Hot Pink.
Color: Pitaya Red, Color: Pitaya Red
Very pretty and bright. It’s thick and great quality. Strong grip and doesn’t come off easily. Easy to clean when it gets dirty. It also has a nice backing. I prefer the transparent bright pink backing than the clear version. I love the strong magnetic for when I position it upwards. It can be positioned downwards too.

This MoKo iPad case is excellent! It fits perfectly and provides great protection without adding bulk. The navy blue color looks very sleek, and the translucent back shell is a nice touch. It’s super magnetic, with great padding. The smart cover works flawlessly with the auto wake/sleep feature, and the cutouts line up perfectly for Touch ID. Lightweight, durable, and a fantastic value!

Perfect, it fits like a glove.
Color: 1-Navy Blue
I really liked the sleeve, the navy blue color looks very elegant and the material feels resistant but soft to the touch. What I like the most is that the back is translucent, so you still see the design of the tablet. It works great for watching videos because it stands firm when folding it, and turning off the screen alone when closing it is very practical. Because of the price it has, the quality is excellent.

Great Protective Case for My Mother’s iPad
Color: 2-Watermelon Red, Color: 2-Watermelon Red
I bought this case along with my mother’s new iPad, and it was the perfect choice. The watermelon red color looks beautiful with the pink iPad and gives it a very clean and stylish look. The case feels sturdy without adding too much weight, which makes it comfortable for her to carry around and use every day. The stand feature works really well for watching videos, reading, and video calls. I also like that the case supports the auto wake and sleep function, which makes the iPad feel even more convenient and easy to use. The cutouts fit perfectly, and Touch ID still works without any issues. The translucent back is a nice touch because it still lets the iPad color show through while keeping it protected from scratches and bumps. Overall, this case exceeded expectations and makes a great addition for anyone wanting both protection and style for their iPad.
