Chaenomeles speciosa ‘Yukigotan’
The ornamental ‘quinces’ are some of the most beautiful of early flowering shrubs, either free-standing or trained against a sheltered wall. Saucer-shaped semi-double flowers are held in dense clusters, outlasting the single forms. A curious limey green shade in bud and when freshly unfurled, they mature to a pure white, the snowy starkness of the flowers offset by golden stamens. The effect is dramatic when shown against a dark woodland-mulched soil. Prune back last year’s growth after flowering in late spring to maintain shape.
