description for "Fruits and Nuts: Cydonia oblonga 'Van Damen'"
'Van Damen' was selected by Luther Burbank for its large size and pleasant spicy flavor. Large waxy yellow oblong fruits make tasty preserves an baked goods. Quince trees will produce fruit 3 years after planting. They are self fertile but will have a larger fruit crop when cross pollinated. Edited by M.Tate.
