Chaenomeles X Suberba Lemon and Lime, commonly known as ‘Japanese Flowering Quince’, is a deciduous, medium sized, compact shrub.  It has spiny arching branches along which mid green leaves provide an ideal backdrop for the abundance of cup shaped, pale greenish-yellow flowers.  These fade to creamy white and are later followed by fragrant edible greenish-yellow fruits, often used in the making of preserves. A suitable addition to the garden for planting against a wall or fence.
