Cut and set cuttings
- Cut cuttings in June
- Remove the lower leaves
- Put in the ground in a partially shaded location
- Water well
- Water regularly
The cuttings, which are at least 20 centimeters long, are cut in early summer. After removing the leaves, place the branches in the sun for a short time so that the interfaces dry out.

Put the cuttings in loose potting soil. At least two eyes must be underground. The new roots are formed on them.
Whether the propagation has succeeded can be seen when the cutting forms new leaves or new shoots grow.
Pull quince quinces from seeds
Seeds can be obtained from ripe fruits. Loosen them from the pulp and let them dry well.
Put the dried seeds in the refrigerator over winter. To do this, fill a shallow bowl with damp sand and cover the seeds with cling film.
As soon as the days get longer from March, the seed tray is placed on the window sill, initially with foil. This is ventilated once a day so that the seeds do not rot or go moldy.
Ornamental quince seeds sprout slowly
Now you need a lot of patience, because the germination process can take up to two months. Not all seeds will sprout either, so it's better to sow a few more.
Keep the soil moist but not wet until the seeds have sprouted. As soon as the seedlings are about five centimeters high, place them one at a time in small pots filled with potting soil.
You should keep the small quince quinces on the windowsill or some other bright spot for two years before planting them in a suitable location in the garden.
Tips & Tricks
Instead of putting the cuttings in the ground right away, you can also put them in a water glass. There you can see whether new roots are forming. As soon as some have grown, plant the small ornamental quinces in pots and put them outside after two years.
