Chaenomeles speciosa 'Texas Scarlet' or 'Texas Scarlet' Quince is a flowering and fruiting marvel. It's gorgeous red flowers cover the plant in mid-Spring, usually April. Despite its thorny stems, it is a marvelous low maintenance plant for the landscape. It will produce ooooodles of early Spring blooms and is very zone hardy. Full sun and salt/sand tolerant, Quince makes a wonderful addition to any landscape. Pictured here are the blossoms of the Texas Scarlet type.
We also sell Toyo-Nishiki Flowering Quince, a softer colored pink and white flower, with the same upright, fast growing habit as the Texas Scarlet variety. Toyo-Nishiki has a wider, more spreading habit.
