All the quinces are members of the Rose family. Flowering quinces 
(Chaenomeles) used to be grouped with regular Quince under Cydonia. While no 
longer considered that closely related, they both are in the same sub-tribe, 
Malinae.

Thanks everyone.  I think it is a flowering quince-- I looked at  
photos of the fruit and that is how I remember it.  Hope it didn't get  
burned by the frost (some of the blossoms look like they were) and  
that I can try it this fall.  We're in zone 3 and can't grow regular  
quince so this seems like a good alternative.  They have different  
latin names-- are they at all related?  (flowering quince and fruiting  
quince)?

My friend has a problem growing apples in Kansas (near Topeka).  Her apple
trees (Jonathan and Jonafree) do great, set fruit, and then when the fruit
is quarter sized it all falls off.

This has happened every year since the trees started bearing.

Anyone have ideas what might be causing the problem?  Thanks!
