Medit-planters,

Does anyone out there have any experience of growing quinces (Cydonia oblonga), specifically the cultivar "Smyrna"? I'm planning on trying one in my USDA zone 6A garden here in St. Louis, MO, where it should theoretically be hardy. We rarely get any frost after mid-April.

Also, does anyone grow that wierd old European fruit, the medlar (Mespilus germanica)? I'm planning on giving that a try too.

Any hints most welcome!

Many thanks,  Nick Turland
