Springtime in the Quince Orchard, the Fairy Wrens & Silvereyes flit from branch to branch, the Grey Shrike Thrush is heard singing it’s beautiful song from the tops of the trees and you can smell the Quince blossom.

The quince flower petals are the softest pink and the creamiest white, to some they look like tiny ballet dresses the fairies have washed and hung upside down to dry on the branches. Enchantingly beautiful, Springtime in the Quince Orchard is looked forward to all year.

 

 

The Quince Blossom photographed is taken in the Spring of 2019 to help  show the slight differences between the Quince varieties.

 

 

 

Until next time, love from the garden.

Quinces are available for sale during the harvesting season of March through to late April.

We deliberately hand pick what is actually ripe during those weeks instead of marking the calendar & picking everything at once that may not be quite ready.

It is such a slow process growing this fruit from seeing it bud & flower right through to the fruit setting & ripening, we are mindful not to rush the final stages.

We are generous when weighing quinces for orders.
