Can anyone help me identify a shrub in our garden? It has green fruit (?)....
Hello
I am new to gardening and therefore to this website and we have recently moved into house with huge garden and we are feeling quite overwhelmed but love it (sort of). We are trying to keep a diary of what we are doing and trying to learn the names of all our plants. I wondered whether anyone can tell me what type of shrub we have in our garden - it has green fruit, the size of a large walnut that turn yellow later in the year. Does anyone know what it is? Thank you very much for any replies. Chrissie |

Thank you very much for any replies. Chrissie Can you take a photo and post it to e.g. tinypic with a link to urg so that we can see it? We've recently had a discussion about Prunus and plums and damsons and mirabelles etc. It's in the thread called Unknown fruit, if you subscribe directly to uk.rec.gardening. It's possible your fruit is some kind of Chaenomeles aka Japanese quince. Usually, these are grown against a wall and have coral, red, pink or white flowers in late winter/early spring http://images.google.co.uk/images?hl...-8&sa=N&tab=wi -- Sacha www.hillhousenursery.com Shrubs & perennials.

It's impossible to know without a picture, but the most common thing of that description is Chaenomeles japonica, colloquially known as Japonica or Japanese Quince. It won't be true quince, that's a tree.

It can still be used to make a good, astringent jelly. |

I am new to gardening and therefore to this website Not a website! It's a newsgroup, which you are reading via a website. Most of us are reading it via newsreader software, which lays out all the threads in an easier-to-follow fashion. and we have recently moved into house with huge garden and we are feeling quite overwhelmed but love it (sort of). We are trying to keep a diary of what we are doing and trying to learn the names of all our plants. I wondered whether anyone can tell me what type of shrub we have in our garden - it has green fruit, the size of a large walnut that turn yellow later in the year. Does anyone know what it is? As others have said, there's a good chance it's a japanese quince or chaenomeles. Slightly leathery green oval leaves about an inch long. Abundant 5-petalled flowers in spring in any shade from pale pink to brilliant orange or red. -- Kay |
