I've heard of Quince tree's and bushes and finally decided to give some ago.
We'll see how they do, they are difficult to find, Willis Orchards had some and I was luck enough to get a few.  Picked up a Red Baron Peach tree too.  Historically I don't have good luck with Willis Orchards, though the stock they send is great looking, I think it's just Georgia is such a different soil type and zone than Missouri, the tree's often experience shock, and even though they ship FedEx, the tree's often show up with dried up roots, or budded out and the new leaves dried up, which is disappointing.
But they are one of the few places that carry Quince tree's so got to try.
Stark Brothers is supposed to have some this fall and spring 2020, so depending on how these do, I will keep trying.
