Cooke's Jumbo

Cooke's Jumbo is an American quince cultivar known, as the name suggests, for its very large fruit. It produces big, pear-shaped quinces with white flesh that cooks well for jelly, preserves, and baking. The tree is productive and bears sizable crops of the oversized fruit, and it is often grown where large fruit for processing is desired. Like most quinces it is self-fertile. Cooke's Jumbo is valued in home orchards for combining generous fruit size with dependable production, giving plenty of material for the kitchen from each harvest. It ripens in the mid to late season.
