Folks:
I admit that I'm more than a little confused about quinces. I know
that there are two species involved (quince and flowering quince). I
know that some varieties are edible out of hand but that some are sour
enough to be used as a lemon substitute. I also believe that one of the
species produces a fruit that has the most amazing aroma for weeks as it
sits on a counter and ripens.
Could someone either provide a concise summary of quinces or direct
me to such a site. I believe that they could be a valuable component in
my edible forest garden but I'd like to be more certain of how to use them.
Thanks,
Geoffrey Tolle
