description_en: Genus of one species of deciduous tree or shrub occurring at woodland margins and on rocky slopes in S.W. Asia. The elliptic to ovate leaves are arranged alternately. Attractive, shallowly bowl-shaped flowers are followed by pear-like, ornamental fruit, which are edible when cooked. C. oblonga should not be confused with the flowering quinces (Chaenomeles). In regions with cold summers or winter temperatures that fall below -15°C (5°F), fan train C. oblonga against a wall. In warmer climates, it is excellent as a free-standing specimen; it fruits best in areas with long, hot summers.
hardiness_en: Fully hardy.
cultivation_en:
propagation_en: Sow seed of the species in a seedbed in autumn. Insert green-wood cuttings in early summer, or semi-ripe cuttings in mid- or late summer. May also be propagated from hardwood cuttings in autumn or early winter. Bud cultivars in summer, or bottom graft on to seedling quince stocks in late winter.
pests_en: Susceptible to quince leafblight, brown rot, fireblight, and mildew.
