Japanese Quince 'Falconnet Charlet'
Fragrant Scent Hardiness H6

Japanese Quince ‘Falconnet Charlet’ is a medium, deciduous shrub with thorny branches and dark green leaves. In early spring, clusters of large, double salmon-pink flowers appear on bare stems, followed in summer by fragrant yellow fruits that can be used in preserves. Bushy in habit, it adds both ornamental value and seasonal harvest. For Irish gardeners wanting a spring-flowering shrub with edible fruit, this is a strong option.
