budding quinces

some of the old fruit trees have been left along the creek until the new native trees get to a good size. Hopefully we will get one more batch of jam from them this year

Quinces must be very English, I have never tried to cook it myself. I have no idea how to do it. Nice textures are captured, it looks rather hairy.

[Dione Giorgio]

Beautiful healthy leaves and fruit. I have to look them up to see whether we get them here.

[Joyce]

Long time since I've seen any quince. This is a great shot

[Chris K]

@yaorenliu these are growing here in Adelaide. They will grow quite large. When they are ripe they have a sooth skin. They are a bit like apples or pears but very hard and the fruit is usually made into a beautiful pink jam. There is a Chinese Quince but not of the same family

[Penelope Ann]

The promise of fruit to come

[Pyrrhula]

Beautiful close up of some fruit I do n`t know. Have to see Wikipedia. .

[Pyrrhula]

Very interesting! Have not had the pink jam. is the flesh pink inside?

[Denise (lyndemc)]

Pretty. And look, the remains of the blooms are still there on the end of the fruit.

[Chris K]

@lyndemc thankyou Denise, yes I thought the remains of the flowers were lovely and I was glad to catch the before they fell off.

[Chris K]

@sangwann they are just growing wild now Dione but were once part of an old orchard of fruit trees

[Chris K]

@thistle @pennystot @pyrrhula @joemuli thankyou all!

[Chris K]

@veengupta the flesh is quite hard and not very juicy and they only turn pink when you cook them

[Ann H. LeFevre]

I'm trying to remember if I've tried one or a jam but I think I'm confusing it with something else- oh, it was a persimmon. Different fruit altogether! These look really good- great shot!

[Leana Niemand]

Incredible detail, such a great shot.

[Pyrrhula]

Thank you for you visits and great comments. We have done most of the harvest. Still there is some crops on the fields

[Nina Ganci]

so that is what quince looks like. I have a tree in my garden and the only thing it has produced in 5 years is leaves and growth. Waiting patiently for the first fruit to blossom and hopefully harvest

[Chris K]

@ninaganci I hope you will be rewarded soon.
