Cultivation
Quince pollinator variety
Cydonia oblonga Mill.
Common quince is characterized by self-sterility, therefore, to ensure fruit set, cross-pollination by a group of 3–4 varieties with overlapping flowering periods is required.
In the reference 25 varieties crop Quince, where this is mentioned in the description.
Most common quince varieties are self-sterile or partially self-fertile, which results in low fruit set for solitary trees. To ensure complete pollination and high productivity in orchards, it is necessary to plant at least three to four different quince varieties.
A key condition for effective cross-pollination for this crop is the selection of varieties that bloom at similar times. Common quince varieties cannot serve as pollinators for Chaenomeles, as these crops belong to different species, which should be taken into account when planning plantings.
