Common name: Quince
Cydonia oblonga is a member of the rose family and produces a large golden-yellow fuzzy fruit which is astringent and not eaten raw but is much prized for making preserves. The flowers are white to pale pink.
It is now the only species in the Cydonia genus; other plants originally in that genus have been moved into their own genera, e.g, Chaenomeles.
