I planted one here about ten years ago and it is very happy. It does  
well in this rocky soil. I planted it in a slight swale that handles  
heavy rain runoff, so it gets a good drink at such times. This year it  
started blooming about the time I got here on April 2nd and it stills  
has some blossoms now on May 14th. I am thinking to plant something  
around it that has white flowers. The quince flower color does not  
match anything with other color here.
