Are any of those like the old hard as rocks, only suitable for cooking but
when you do terrific? I am not real taken with the new "edible" quinces.
And I do have a significant fireblight issue.

On a tangentially related topic for those interested in quince but having
serious fireblight problems, there are some Bulgarian quince that were
recently imported by the USDA which are from a Bulgarian fireblight
resistance breeding program. I have a few of them growing. Here is what is
in the USDA system.

I have had horrible fireblight on my quince so I removed them all, now I am
only trialing some of these ones.
