Chaenomeles X Suberba Etna, 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, red flowers.  These fade 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.
