Ancient fruit. Extraordinary fragrance. The original quince.

Chaenomeles sinensis, the Chinese Quince, is the true quince of East Asian garden tradition, a slow-growing ornamental and fruiting tree native to China that produces large, aromatic, apple-like fruits with a fragrance so intense and persistent that a single ripe fruit placed in a room will scent the entire space for weeks. The bark is among the most ornamentally interesting of any flowering tree, peeling in irregular patches of gray, green, brown, and orange in a mosaic pattern comparable to the finest ornamental cherries. The white to pale pink flowers appear in spring before the leaves and the fruit, which cannot be eaten raw due to extreme astringency, is made into preserves, liqueurs, and medicinal preparations across China, Japan, and Korea. If you are looking to buy Chinese Quince seeds or grow this ancient ornamental from seed, this is the quince with the most complete combination of bark, flower, fruit, and fragrance of any quince species in cultivation.

  • Extraordinarily fragrant fruit placed in a room will scent it for weeks, one of the strongest natural fruit fragrances available
  • Beautiful mottled exfoliating bark in gray, green, brown, and orange, ornamental in every season
  • White to pale pink flowers in spring before leaf emergence, delicate and refined
  • Slow-growing and long-lived, developing extraordinary character and bark texture over decades
  • Used in traditional Chinese, Japanese, and Korean medicine and cuisine for centuries

Things you probably did not know about the Chinese Quince

The fragrance is used in traditional Japanese rooms as a natural air freshener. In Japan the Chinese Quince, called karin, has been placed in tokonoma alcoves, clothing chests, and living rooms specifically for its fragrance for centuries. A single ripe fruit can maintain its scent for months after harvest, making it one of the most persistent natural fragrances available from any plant. The scent is a complex combination of floral, honey, and spice notes that intensifies as the fruit ripens.

The fruit requires cooking but produces extraordinary preserves. Raw Chinese Quince is so astringent it is essentially inedible due to high tannin content. However, when cooked with sugar the tannins break down and the fruit produces deep rose-pink to ruby-red preserves and jellies with a flavor considered among the finest of any temperate fruit preserve. The pink color develops through a chemical reaction between the fruit's polyphenols and heat, the same process that gives quince paste its characteristic color.

The wood is extremely dense and was used for wooden clogs in East Asia. Chinese Quince wood is exceptionally hard and dense, close-grained and resistant to wear. In traditional East Asian craft it was used for furniture, tool handles, and wooden footwear because the extreme hardness made it durable in applications that softer woods could not withstand. The weight and density of the wood is immediately apparent when handling even small pieces.

It is closely related to but distinctly different from the Japanese Flowering Quince. The Japanese Flowering Quince, Chaenomeles speciosa, is far more commonly grown in western gardens as an ornamental. The Chinese Quince is a different species, growing into a true tree form rather than the shrub of the Japanese species, and producing much larger fruit with a more intense fragrance. The two plants are frequently confused in catalogs and nursery trade.

Pretty Darn Good
Format: Kindle
So I’ve been on a omega kick and this definitely hit the spot. Madison was frustrating at times with how she acted towards Lucas, Gray, and Rian. It was like she said towards the end, she didn’t believe she deserved nice things. It would have been nice to hear from her best friends again. They kind of were there in the beginning and the gone except for mention of text messages received from them. I feel like her friends would have been great help in encouraging Madison to go with the pack and never give Brent another chance because he was toxic. I loved Rian. His personality was awesome. His humor. His ability to make Madison comfortable whenever she was feeling overwhelmed. And the fact he fell for her and she fell for him first. They are cute together. I do feel like Lucas was the odd man out though. Like Lucas didn’t develop as much of a relationship with Madison. I would have really liked to see more development in the relationship between them. It was also the same with him and Rian. There is really no relationship displayed. Most of the relationship being displayed is between Rian and Gray. Nevertheless, I loved reading about the dynamic that came to fruition during the entirety of this story. Madison finally got her happiness. And Brent finally got punched in the face. Everyone got exactly what they deserve.

Pack's Promise was okay but not great
Format: Kindle
Pack's Promise was okay but not great. I won't recommend it to anyone that I know. PRO: * Very likable characters * Lots of steamy scenes that are written very well * The spelling and grammar are good * The punctuation is good with the exception of using hyphens instead of commas. Lots of hyphens. Lots and lots of hyphens. CON: * Almost no interactions with any characters outside of Madison and the pack * Nearly no plot. They meet, get together for a heat, agree to make it permanent, done * Quite a few typos such as extraneous words, missing words and words out of order THINGS TO KNOW: * More steamy scenes than storytelling * A lot of MM & MMM, some MFMM during heat

Fluffy and Nice Omegaverse
Format: Kindle
… this would have made 5 stars but for 2 reasons. A.) there were quite a few typos; misspelled words, missing quotations, “the his” mistakes, and various signs that maybe a proofread would do good. B.) the writing was quite textbook. Late blooming omega is struggling with her new self, finds a absurdly wealthy pack of alphas, every thing is almost insta-love but she resists, then decides to love herself and let everyone be happy. Rian was my favourite (obviously the author’s favourite too because he got the most page time) but I wish we could see more of his CEO side? He went to work maybe ONCE the entire time. Gray was supposed to be the “growly one” but he turned out to be puppy dog. Lucas was a genius brainiac doctor - but also super alpha with an aggressive hindbrain with a breeding k*nk?? And then there was no actual “breeding”?? Spice 3/5 - normally omegaverse books are super high on messy smut but this was tamer. Romance 3/5 - insta-love that was then resisted because of personal hangup’s Plot 2/5 - weird paced head hopping, showing the same scene from different POV’s that made me feel like it was 2 steps backward, 1 step forward. Humour 4/5 - there were a dozen lines that genuinely made me chuckle out loud Would have been five stars but the lack of proofreading and the predictable plot made me unable to get up to ADORED IT level - four stars is still and official ENJOYED IT, y’all. This isn’t a bad rating. The “Club Heat” has intriguing possibilities so I’m going to give the second one a shot.
