Quince Scion

Cydonia oblonga Mill.

Common quince is used in horticulture primarily as a rootstock, whereas its use as a scion is not standard practice. The main agronomic specificity lies in the high selectivity of pear varieties when grafting onto quince.

In the reference 10 varieties crop Quince, where this is mentioned in the description.

Grafting quince onto other crops is not considered an effective technology in professional practice, as preference is given to seed propagation or cutting. Interspecific compatibility of quince is limited: in particular, the combination of quince with apple is recognized as biologically incompatible and is not recommended for production purposes.

As a rootstock, quince demonstrates strict varietal specificity when working with pear. A number of pear varieties, such as Esmeralda, Rozoviy bochonok, Yablunivska, and Beurré Clairgeau, show negative affinity with quince. In cases of incompatibility, the method of interstock grafting is used to solve the problem, utilizing a compatible pear variety as an intermediate link.
