Plant Sentry is designed to protect both consumers and the nursery trade from invasive plant pests and diseases. Sites that display the Plant Sentry protection badge are protected from consumers buying and nurseries shipping material carrying invasive pests and diseases.

This proprietary eCommerce software prevents the shipment of a restricted plant to each state. The Plant Sentry system includes a shipment certification program. The Plant Sentry Compliance Officer works closely with NatureHills.com and each nursery or fulfillment center to ensure only compliant plants are sold to customers.

Looking for opportunities to add fruiting plants to your landscape? Delicious, prolific Champion Common Quince (Cydonia oblonga 'Champion') is a very reliable producer of large, pear-shaped fruit with light green skin in the mid-season.

If you love to cook, grow Quince Champion to make beautiful jellies and jams that cook to a pale pink. Drizzle quince syrup over ice cream; or make quince wine for a signature cocktail.

Planting and Application:

This is a self-pollinating cultivar, so you'll get plenty of pectin-rich fruit from one plant. However, yields per Champion Quince will be greater with two or more plants.

  • Fragrant pink flowers age to white for a pretty springtime show. The oblong fruit starts off firm, and is cooked to bring out the full complement of spicy flavors...including notes of apple, pear and a zest that is all it's own.
  • With a moderately trailing growth habit, this rounded deciduous shrub can be used in many ways in the landscape. It's a top contender for a naturalized permaculture planting with pliable branches that can be woven into an old-fashioned hedgerow.
  • Prune flat to a sturdy trellis in an espalier, and you'll gain a beautiful garden feature with an easier harvest. Get how-to's and pro tips at the NatureHIlls.com Garden Blog.
  • You can also train Champion Common Quince as a stand-alone shrub or tree. Keep them pruned for easy harvest using summer pruning for size control.
  • Champion Quince bushes should be grown away from other pome fruits, like Apple and Pear for the best garden hygiene. Give Quince space to develop their sweet, savory fall fruit for a delightful taste treat.

#ProPlantTips for Care: 

Choose a planting site in full sun with well-drained soil and good air circulation. You'll want to add Nature Hills Root Booster in the planting hole for life-long, symbiotic support of the tiny feeder roots.

  • Water fruiting plants on a consistent schedule through fruit development. Touch the soil near the base of your Champion Quince tree and apply water when it starts to get dry.
  • For the first several years, you'll be working to establish the structure branches to provide a framework for the fruiting spurs. Prune with a vase-shaped open center or start training your espalier in late winter as your Quince is dormant.
  • Add a three-inch layer of mulch around the trunk, then pull it back away from touching the stems. Fertilize with good quality fruiting tree formula in early spring...and reapply according to the label directions.
