Chaenomeles Double Take Orange (Flowering Quince)
Chaenomeles Double Take Orange is a flowering Quince that features masses of orange flowers from late winter. At this time the shrub is an arching network of thornless branches with clusters of tight buds that open into the exquisite, double blossoms. The leaves emerge a fresh green, darken with age, then develop yellow tones in autumn before falling as it grows to 1.2 m tall and 1 m wide. Chaenomeles Double Take Orange is commonly added to a mixed planting, grown for floral art, used as an informal or formal hedge, or planted in clusters for a stunning display.
