e-harris says... But they ripen off the tree as long as they are a little bit yellow to start with? I've recently come into possession of about 12kg of quince fruit which are still a little green, so I'm sure hoping they ripen off the tree! We looked up some information and apparently if we keep them in a well ventilated, cool, dark spot then they should be ok in a few weeks. | About the Author e-harris Blacktown 3rd February 2014 11:50am #UserID: 9429 Posts: 2 View All e-harris's Edible Fruit Trees |

VF says... Ok, thanks for answers. Another question - I have 1x fruit I allowed on my young tree , that because of weather (big downpour after extended hot & dry), has developed a big split. Should I pick it early, or see if it sort of heals itself? It doesn't appear to be spoiling at this stage. Is there something I could use to keep the wound from rotting? | About the Author VF Wongawallan 5th February 2014 4:05pm #UserID: 6795 Posts: 736 View All VF's Edible Fruit Trees |

JohnMc1 says... There's an abandoned farm not far from me that has a very old quince and pear tree loaded to the gunnels with fruit atm. Fruit fly numbers are, so far and as far as I can tell, very low this year around these parts anyway. The quinces I tried last year from this tree, were no doubt an old astringent variety only good for stewing. | About the Author JohnMc1 Warnervale NSW 10th February 2014 9:11am #UserID: 2743 Posts: 2043 View All JohnMc1's Edible Fruit Trees |

denise1 says... Real quinces were traditionally stewed and bottled with apples. A little goes a long way as the quince has a strong flavour. Japonica quinces are not quite as good but make a jelly for on bread or scones. They should be handled carefully as they bruise easily. Especially when they fall and hit the ground. There are probably other ways of using quinces. A useful deciduous tree that doesnt take up too much space. | About the Author denise1 auckland NZ 10th February 2014 6:51pm #UserID: 6832 Posts: 688 View All denise1's Edible Fruit Trees |
MaryT says... Quinces are magical when they're cooked (google recipe quince) - they turn red so they're a visual delight as well. Substitute quince for apple, pears, plums etc in cakes and pastry. Use the stewing liquid for cordial. Bake them with your roast. Their uses are endless, sternus1 - get some and try it. | About the Author MaryT Sydney 11th February 2014 6:33am #UserID: 5412 Posts: 2066 View All MaryT's Edible Fruit Trees |
