Chaenomeles japonica, also known as the Japanese quince or Maule's quince, is a flowering shrub native to Japan. It is a thorny deciduous shrub that is commonly cultivated and grows to about 1 meter in height. Its most notable feature is its colorful spring flowers, which can be red, white, pink, or multicolored. The plant has lanceolate to obovate leaves that are roughly toothed and grow up to 5 inches long. It blooms in winter and again in summer, producing orange to brick red flowers. The fruit, called Kusa-boke in Japanese, is edible but hard and astringent unless cooked or bletted. It is often used in jams, jellies, and pies as a substitute for true quince. Chaenomeles japonica is also popularly grown in bonsai and can thrive in various soil types.
