First found in 1887 in Turkey, Smyrna Quince, produces a very large, aromatic and bright yellow fruit with light yellow flesh. The flavor is tart like lemon and makes a delicious addition to baked goods and some wonderful preserves, chutneys, tarts, and jams. One of our favorite ways to eat them is oven roasted with a little honey in the center and served with ice cream. And I've heard they make extraordinary hard cider.
Ripening in late September to early October, Smyrna fruit stores exceptionally well and if kept in a cool room or in refrigeration they can last well into early spring.
The trees are vigorous and attractive with dark green foliage and very showy blossoms in late spring.
Self-fertile - Can produce fruit alone.
