I am looking for a quince tree and will need to buy it online. I had my fingers burnt buying crabapples from Chris Bowers, all 6 of which turned out not to be what I thought I'd bought (2 years on when they fruited) and when I tried to get this matter resolved by the seller I was repeatedly ghosted....

So - can anyone recommend an online seller that they trust?!

Used Pomona for fruit bushes and looking at them for a tree this year.

I have had both ornamental and fruit trees from https://www.frankpmatthews.com/. They have all survived, were the variety I asked for and were well shaped. Not the cheapest but a reliable company and trees were well packaged for delivery. I have had both bare root and container grown from them but the younger bare root ones did best. If I can afford it I will use them again when we do the next bit of garden.

I've had FrankPMatthews trees too, although they were bought from my local nursery, and have no complaints at all.

The younger you plant a tree the better chance it will have. You might have to wait a bit longer for fruit but it will establish much more quickly than an older tree which might take a bit of settling in.

My son had some apple trees from Ashridge nurseries. I think they have been in 4 years now - like everyone he's had a huge crop (given that the trees are still young) this year.

I had my quince from Ashridge, and it's lovely. I've not heard wonderful things about Pomona, but not used them myself.

I’ve used Blackmoor and Pomona and both have been good. Your local garden centre may have some Pomona trees in stock as they’re fairly common.
