Quince Ba29
Mid-October
Hemus quince is one of the most promising quince varieties. Developed in Bulgaria at the Fruit Growing Institute in Plovdiv, it is widely cultivated in Bulgaria, Turkey, and increasingly in Bosnia and Herzegovina. It stores easily without refrigeration in ordinary warehouses or garages, keeping well until March without dehydration or shriveling. Twenty days after harvest, its aroma and fragrance intensify. The fruit has multiple uses, with excellent aroma and high sugar content, making it ideal for quince brandy and preserves.
The flesh is moist, highly aromatic, and sweet.
The Hemus quince fruit is large, weighing 500 grams up to 1 kg, round in shape, with a smooth and shiny surface, uniformly yellow. The flesh is white, free of stone cells, apple-like in texture, moist, sweet, and highly aromatic. Seeds are very small (around 1 cm), resulting in a high flesh-to-fruit ratio, which is important for processing into preserves and compotes. Hemus quince can be eaten without cutting; it is soft like an apple, not astringent, and does not irritate the throat. Highly fragrant and aromatic, it can remain on the branch until November without issues.
Partially self-pollinating. Good pollinators: Trijumf, Vranjska.
Well resistant to frost, tolerates heat and high temperatures, not prone to fruit drop, and resistant to Erwinia.
You can purchase seedlings of Quince Hemus 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.
