The Smyrna Quince tree is a heavy producing and self-fertile quince tree brought from Turkey over a century ago. Its large, yellow, pear-shaped fruit is great for cooking, with a delicious mild flavor that is favored for desserts, preserves and jellies. An attractive, vigorous and easy to grow tree, Smyrna bears large, lemon-yellow, very aromatic fruit. Smyrna makes tasty preserves and baked goods and can be stored until early spring in a cool room or under refrigeration. (USDA Zones 5-9)
