Our Feedback
Just to let you know my Victoria plum tree arrived safely yesterday (9.11.10). I have unpacked it, as instructed, and was amazed at the wonderful way it was packed and the good condition of the tree. I am thrilled with the service you have provided and hope that I now follow your instructions for future care and look after it properly.

Supplied as a containerised tree pruned to approximately 3-4 ft (90-120cm) tall including pot.
This Product is Available Now.Produces very large rounded fruits with a good aroma and flavour - making it perfect for jam, jellies and wine. A gift of a Quince also symbolised protection, love and happiness.
Originating from Persia and Turkestan, Quinces are often regarded as intolerant of wetter soils; fortunately Champion is far more forgiving and will perform in all but the wettest soils. In fact Champion is possibly the most reliable of all Quince varieties, suffering from very few pests and diseases (though like other Quinces, Quince Blight can in some years be a problem).
