Here we are in March again, a full year on from when I first started following my quince tree. I looked back to last year to see whether I think it is further on or late compared to last year.
I think it looks pretty much the same.
This quince 'Vranja' is a delight of a tree. It starts to leaf up before the apple and the medlar and it keeps its leaves longer as well.
If it was not for one tiny little flaw I would call it a perfect fruit tree. It is but a trifling issue, a mere speck on horizon. I do not ask much of this tree, but I would really like a quince this year please.
No really - I do want one, let this be the year of the quince.
Meanwhile, I turn and look to the medlar, that has medled every year since planting....
.... and I tell it to get wriggle on and think about getting some leaves.
Thanks to Lucy for hosting this meme, there are many other trees to follow here.

Beautiful buds. Looks to be a very nice tree. I hope you get your wish for a quince!
ReplyDeleteI was only looking at my quince yesterday and thinking it was #QuinceWatch time again. Fingers crossed for yours to fruit this year.
ReplyDeleteI think fruit on a fruit tree is a reasonable ask. Wonder if we'll still be tree-following in twenty year's time and how sizeable your quince and medlar crop will be by then.
