Native to Japan, the Chaenomeles superba Pink Lady or Japanese Quince Pink Lady is a small deciduous, thorny, bushy shrub with a spreading habit. It stands out for its abundant early spring flowering, appearing before the foliage. Indeed, from the end of February to April, on the bare branches of the previous year, many pink honey flowers bloom. They are followed by globular fruits of yellow colour, resembling small apples, very decorative and very fragrant, edible when cooked. These fruits will remain in place after the leaves have fallen for much of the winter.
