A wide range of Cydonia oblonga (quince) cultivars were fruiting in the orchards at the Royal Horticultural Society Garden Wisley, Surrey, UK. This fruit tree produces a broad-crowned deciduous shrub, or small tree, which develops a wonderful mottled bark. The leaves are hairy beneath and turn gold in the autumn, while in the spring there are pink-tinged flowers.
