The large, double flowers are excellent in cut flower arrangements. Bright spring flowers are only the beginning of the Double Take quince’s appeal: they’re also thornless, and do not produce fruit. Extremely drought tolerant once established, these early spring charmers are excellent landscape plants and real survivalists in tough climates.
