About Cydonia oblonga ‘Smyrna’ – Smyrna Quince

Cydonia oblonga ‘Smyrna’, commonly known as the Smyrna Quince, is a small deciduous fruiting tree valued for its attractive spring flowers and fragrant, golden-yellow fruit. In spring, soft pink blossoms cover the branches, followed by large, pear-shaped quinces that ripen in late autumn. The fruit has a sweet, aromatic fragrance and is highly prized for cooking, preserves, and jams. Mature trees typically reach 3–4 metres tall and wide, forming a rounded, compact canopy with grey-green foliage that turns soft yellow in autumn.

This hardy and productive tree thrives in full sun and well-drained soils. Cydonia oblonga ‘Smyrna’ is frost tolerant and drought resistant once established, making it ideal for both cool and warm temperate climates. It is self-fertile, easy to grow, and performs well as a feature tree in small orchards, cottage gardens, or edible landscapes.

They look excellent as stand-alone fruit trees, in mixed orchard plantings, or even as decorative features where their spring blossoms and autumn fruit can be appreciated. The Smyrna Quince combines ornamental beauty with practical productivity, offering both visual appeal and a delicious harvest.
