Looking back into the mists of time, I remember a quince tree at my maternal grandfather’s eldest brother’s homeplace, and another one growing at an abandoned sharecropper’s shack that both made a large, oblong rock-hard fruit just like photos of P. sinensis that I’ve seen. IDK if that’s what they were, but I suspect that to be the case.

I’m sure P.sinensis is something I tried too that never made it like bungeana Pine. It’s such a long ago memory for me (reading about & wanting one) that it was a memory gone.
Beautiful trees!

Never get soft. Always hard as a rock. I’m reading it’s only get soft when you cook it

Cut an almond shaped piece from the side of a plastic soda bottle to make a ‘canoe’. Attach the mouth of the bottle to a pole or stick with duct tape. Raise the bottle up until the fruit is in the ‘canoe’, and pull it down from the tree. I hope that is easy to understand and helpful.
