Hi, I have got a couple of quinces today from a Japanese-owned nursery.
One is labeled "Japanese Quince Double White Flower-Chaenomeles Speciosa", and the other "Chinese Quince Red Flower-Chaenomeles Sinensis/ Pseudocydonia Sinensis".
Apparently they look the same (they have no flowers now), and the leaves look very much alike.
The only visible difference between them is that the "Japanese" has a cluster of flowering buds in one place, as the "Chinese" one has single buds everywhere on the branches.
Both have no thorns at all.
Wasn't the Japanese Quince supposed to have thorns?
