Quince – Portugal
Fruit: Quince fruit is usually round or pear-shaped, with a tough, golden-yellow skin and a fragrant, astringent flesh when raw.
Light: Quince trees generally prefer full sunlight. Ensure that the tree is exposed to at least 6-8 hours of direct sunlight each day.
Watering: Ensure the tree is receiving sufficient water, but avoid overwatering, as soggy soil can lead to root problems. Well-hydrated trees are better equipped to handle sunlight stress.
Height: Standard quince trees, without dwarfing rootstocks, can grow larger. They may reach a height of 3.6 to 6 meters or more. However, this can vary depending on the specific quince variety and growing conditions.
Temperature: Quince trees prefer a temperate climate with cold winters and warm to hot summers.
