Mid-October
Leskovačka quince is an old Serbian quince variety. A simple synonym for its name is just "Quince." Although its exact origin is uncertain, records indicate that due to its similarity to the Anatolian quince Karali ayvasi, also of high quality, it was introduced to the Balkans from Asia Minor during the Ottoman period. Currently, it is the most widely cultivated quince variety in Serbia. Leskovačka quince is renowned for its quality. Fruits store well and are resilient to transport. Highly valued for processing (juice, preserves, jam, brandy…). Can be stored in ordinary warehouses until January.
The flesh is juicy, sweet-sour, aromatic, and not easy to eat fresh.
The Leskovačka quince fruit weighs 200–300 grams, apple-pear shaped, ribbed or flat, with an exceptional aroma. When fully ripe, the skin is strongly fragrant. The skin is smooth, light yellow, turning bright yellow at full maturity, resembling a lemon. The flesh is white and firm.
Partially self-pollinating. Good pollinators: Vranjska quince.
Resistant to frost, but sensitive to insect pests. Susceptible to Erwinia.
You can purchase seedlings of Quince Leskovačka at our garden center in the nursery located at Gornjem Crnjelovu, Glavna 65a.
Upon collection of the goods (seedlings), the Agromedžik nursery no longer has the possibility of supervision or care, and therefore cannot provide any further guarantee. Since seedlings are living beings, it is not possible to give a guarantee even a day after they leave the nursery. We cannot influence their maintenance and care, and consequently their further growth and development.
Our plants regularly undergo phytosanitary and vegetative inspections, therefore we do not have diseased or infected plants.
Planting is done from late October to mid-April, avoiding periods of frost and drought.
Trim the roots, then the branches into 3 to 4 rings. At the beginning of March, cut the seedlings to a height of 80 - 120 cm.
Before planting, soak the plant in water for at least 2 - 3 hours.
Dig a hole, in the previously prepared soil, measuring 60 x 60 x 50 cm for the soil (40 x 40 x 40 cm) so that the roots and part of the stem are well placed, taking care that the grafting point is outside the soil.
Place the plant in the hole and cover it with dry soil, gently press it down so that it gets well between the roots.
Fertilizer and seedling roots must not be in direct contact.
Pour with 20-30 liters of water. During periods of drought in the first year of planting, it is necessary to water young seedlings more often.
Containerized seedlings can be planted throughout the year.
*Applies to bare root seedlings.
