Didnt know about the NSW law for removing fruit to avoid fruitfly,
guess same goes for persimmon as persimmon fruit hang on during
winter. I may just buy a quince from the fruit shop and try planting
the seed - Im patient!

THe quinces I see in the shops in autumn are usually underripe, so I don't
know if the seeds would be viable. And it's usually preferable to get a named
cultivar just so you know what you're in for in terms of size, habit, fruiting
etc, not just so that you can get fruit in a couple of years instead of a
decade. They don't cost *that* much.

TBH I don't know if you're patient, but you aren't much of a gardener yet.
