Add a vibrant burst of early spring color to your garden with Texas Scarlet Flowering Japanese Quince (Chaenomeles × superba ‘Texas Scarlet’).

Its glossy green leaves develop after flowering, while small yellowish-green fruits may appear later in the season. The plant is shipped bare root, with its roots wrapped in some soil and moist protective material. The fruit is tart and is commonly used in preserves and jellies rather than eaten fresh.
