Product and growing context

Salmon quince was described as light pink, almost white, when forced early. The farm observed richer color closer to natural flowering and featured it for Chinese New Year and Valentine’s Day programs.

From the original farm mailing

The original mailing recorded these observations: “We offer a good supply of salmon quince branches in mid winter for the Chinese New Year Holiday and Valentine’s Day.  They are light pink, almost white early in the season and get richer in color as the season progresses and the quince gets closer to natural blooming time.” “Double Quince, Peach, Forsythia, Quince, Tulip Magnolia, & Pussy Willow” “Our first reports of our double flowering quince has been outstanding.  Only medium size is available, about 3′ tall.” “Double Flowering Quince is now shipping.  We have forced these early just in time for Valentine’s Day.  They are normally red, but because they are being forced so early they are a nice pink color.  Availability limited.  Book yours today.”
