History and description of Meeches Prolific
Meeches Prolific is one of the most popular varieties of quince grown in
the UK. Unlike many other varieties it gives a good regular crop in the
British climate. It produces attractive large slightly pink blossom in late
spring. The fruit is quite large and pear shaped. It ripens in October
turning a golden yellow colour and developing a strong quince aroma. It
has a sharp flavour and is excellent for making quince jelly.
