Plant of the Day
Wednesday 26 March 2014
A Chaenomeles speciosa, Japanese quince, has started life growing up a wall and then has been trained over the arch way at the entrance to this house in Writtle village. There are spiny stems which might not be very welcoming! But the 5-petalled flowers in spring are followed by edible often fragrant green or yellow fruits.
