Japanese Quince 'Jet Trail', Flowering Quince 'Jet Trail', Chaenomeles japonica 'Jet Trail', Chaenomeles 'Jet Trail'
Chaenomeles x superba ‘Jet Trail’ is a compact, spreading, deciduous shrub with abundant clusters of pure white flowers, up to 1.5 in. across (4 cm), adorned with prominent golden anthers. Borne on thorny, tangled leafless branches, they bloom in profusion for weeks in early spring before the glossy, oval, green leaves emerge, creating a brilliant floral display at a time when there is little to be excited about in the garden. The flowers give way to small, fragrant, greenish-yellow fruits, 2 in. across (5 cm), which ripen in early fall. Edible, they are considered too bitter to be eaten directly from the shrub, but they may be used for preserves and jellies.
