| Japanese Quince |
Japanese Quince, sometime called Japonica, actually
originated in China.
It is a tall spiny shrub with dark green, glossy leaves. The
flowers are red and cup-shaped, about 3 cms diameter,
comprising six petals. These are followed by small
apple-like fruits. It provides interesting colour in the
garden early in the year.
