This is hands down my favorite quince. The color of this is equal to the blood of a dragon apparently. 'Dragons Blood' is a deep red and double blooming quince. What's even nicer, is that this plant is thornless! This particular variety will stay shorter, topping out around 3-4'. Most of the old quinces that are still growing at homesteads, have the most wicked thorns. Dr. Tom Ranney took 'Dragons Blood' and used it to breed the new and exciting Double Take Series of quinces that Proven Winners are putting out. The new ones all have Storm in the name - 'Pink Storm', 'Orange Storm', and 'Scarlet Storm'. They are fantastic and all of them are equally thornless! If you're looking for something to replace an old thorny quince, try one of the new ones that are thornless.
