Q.No Fruit On Quince Tree,

Zone Cardiff | Anonymous added on May 26, 2021 | Answered

Read the article on non fruiting quince tree. Mine (“Vranja”) is 7 years old and blossoms profusely every year, well worked by bees. Fruitlets form behind the flowers and begin to swell. Then the fruitlets start to drop off, leaving few if any fruits to fully develop. Last year I had one. Can you please advise me?

Have you had any issues with the leaves? There is a mite that can affect fruit development.

There may be something amiss in how the tree is cared for. Is your tree in the lawn? If so, and you fertilize the lawn with nitrogen, your tree may be getting too much nitrogen fertilizer. Quince trees need low nitrogen.
