Narrative

Orange (Apple) - Early ripening habit has made this the leading quince grown in the Northeast United States. Orange is a group rather than a distinct genotype. Its origin is uncertain. Many orange or apple-shaped quince came to be called 'Orange' or 'Apple', and they were thought to come true from seed, resulting in several strains. Fruit: large to very large, nearly round, faintly ribbed; skin bright golden-yellow to greenish-yellow, very pubescent; flesh orange-yellow, tender, fine texture, aromatic; early mid-season. Quality very good when grown in the north where it ripens during cool weather. In New Jersey and south, it often ripens when temperatures are high, resulting in inferior size, flavor and color. Tree: vigorous, hardy, productive.
