I'd like to grow a quince (Cydonia) but not sure whether it'd fruit for
me. I'm in Yorkshire, 400ft above sea level, on clay in a slight frost
pocket.

I live in Australia and we get savage frosts. *We've had temps down to -9C
and it has had no impact on our quince at all. *Our biggest problem with it
is pear and cherry tree slug.

Have you tried grease bands? We had to do this. The first year it
was marginally successful until I also used grease to seal the edges
of the bands to the tree.
