Quince

[qahtan]

 This was our lovely quince tree in the spring, the fruit formed and grew and was doing very well, then wham last week, the fruits went brown and fell off. ;-(((

Any ideas, ??????? qahtan

Please tell me, I'm not alone in thinking that is not a quince.

The leaves are wrong, so are the flowers.

Oh dear how sad!  It may possibly have been brown rot.

Qahtan it does indeed as it has lot more leaves and blossom, shame about the fruit though!

That's the true quince Valmarg... you're thinking of the Japanese one...
Qahtan mine did exactly the same... it is now virtually leafless...  :-\

Sorry, I obviously got it completely wrong.

Beautiful shrub, beautiful flowers.
