Not only is this grown for its soft-orange spring flowers, borne in April, but this Latvian clone of the true Japanese quince was selected for thornless branches and fruit production. A small very hardy deciduous shrub up to about 1m tall with spreading branches, bearing a heavy crop of fragrant rounded yellow fruit of excellent flavour in Sept/Oct if pollinated by another Chaenomeles in your garden. Easy in most soils in sun.
