Quimper Quince
Mudlark and Guttersnipe sat in the Quince tree.
.

For the first two years we nipped the flowers in the bud so the new tree could put energy into establishing it’s root system…this is the first year we’ve had any fruit and look at the size of them!
.
.
Even though they won’t be ripe for another week or two, some are so heavy that they have broken right off their sustaining branches.
.
Jane is a bit taken aback by the giant fruit, but Guttersnipe and Mudlark are sure she can find something to do justice to our very first Quimper Quince!

The quince are large and a very pretty color. The girls could have many jars of quince jelly over the Winter season from one of those beauties.
We love quince jelly, or jam, it is beautiful and flavourful…Jane is still pondering.
Queenly stands the fruit
that dolls ponder, proud yield from
the Quimper Quince Tree.
Can’t wait to hear/read what comes of this luscious looking bounty.
What a wonderful and regal haiku…thank you so much!
The quince are large indeed…guess you will have to purchase extra large quince jelly jars this year.
Perhaps we will need big jars…or maybe many small ones!
The Country Hittys have no doubt that the esteemed Jane will do right by the giant quince….Jane and The Giant Quince?? has a bit of a ring to it, eh? Congratulations on nurturing your Quince tree!
Jane and the Giant Quince….hmm, it does have a certain ring to it! Sounds like a story waiting to be told!
