I understand that there can be incompatability issues with Conference and an
interstem is recommended. Calcareous soils should be avoided because this can
bring on "lime-induced chlorosis". Although tolerant of wet soils quince
seems to do better in the hotter drier years Cold-hardiness is also a concern
from late spring frosts. For more information on quince rootstock we grow,
visit our website at willamettenurseries.com
Good luck,
Devin Cooper
