Thank you very much for helping me all the time. I ordered from Turkey because I couldn't find any nursery that would ship that particular quince tree to Ontario, Kanada. Variety was ESME grafted Quince tree. I couldn't find it in Canada either. There is one Nursery in Ontario that sells Quince trees "Whiffletree Farm & Nursery" but they are selling ones that I have already from my native country of Yugoslavia (Serbia).

It depends how the roots were wrapped, but very likely it could/may survive.

Turkish quince varieties tend to be better than normal varieties, but there are some really good quince varieties available from Rain Tree and One Green World nurseries in the US.

socalnolympia Thank you very much. I hope it survives because I really want that quince variety. I couldn't see Raintree and / or One Green World shipping to Ontario.

Burnt Ridge sells scionwood, and quince are pretty easy to graft, using apple rootstocks

How it grows? Did you receive it? I plan to order from the same seller; I am wondering if ESME will ripen before first frosts in Canada. For sure it can grow here, but if fruit is not ready by November... then useless.

BTW I ordered grafted mulberries from same seller in past, 3-4 weeks delivery, excellent packaging, all are alive.

Thanks,

Fuad Efendi, Esme arrived last year and survived. It was very well packaged but it was sick from "fire blight". I notified the seller why did he sent me a sick plant .He didn't want to talk with me. I didn't have a choice than to cut it down just 2 inches above the graft to save it. It regrew the branches but they were too young before the winter and I'm waiting for it to see if it survived cold weather. Please keep in touch.
