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.

An action-packed dark romantasy
Format: Kindle
I loved this book! Queen of Roses is an Arthurian-inspired dark romantasy that is the first book in the Blood of Fae series. The story follows Morgan, the princess of Camelot who is rumored to be part fae. Fueled by prejudiced hatred and a mistrust of fae blood, Morgan’s abusive father strips her of her birthright and hands it to her half-brother, Arthur. Instead of becoming queen, Morgan is commanded to join the temple of the goddesses when she comes of age. However, Arthur turns into a psychopathic, power-hungry, fae-hating king as he ages. He develops malevolent plans and commands Morgan to find an ancient weapon with legendary power. Although Morgan is wary of Arthur’s intentions, she embraces the opportunity to go on a journey and potentially change her fate. The story picks up from there and we follow Morgan on her quest to find the ancient relic. It’s full of high stakes adventure, mystery, tension, banter, forced proximity, hidden magic, self discovery, and betrayal. This first installment of the series intricately develops the world building and character development. There’s little romance in this book, but it is evident that it is a slow burn that will continue to develop throughout the remainder of the series. Overall, I loved the world building, the epic fantasy, Morgan’s journey of self discovery, and all of the twists and turns that set the stage for the future installments. I can’t wait to see what happens next!

Arthurian Fae Quest…say less.
Format: Kindle
A fae centered Arthurian tale unlike any I’ve read so far. The author did a great job at descriptive world building, with scenes easily playing out in my minds eye. There was plenty of action, suspense, and even a touch of horror. An enemies to lovers, slow burn romance, a quest, with plot twist and turns aplenty. There was a love triangle, which I’m not usually a fan of but, it played out well in this story line. The FMC, Morgan Pendragon, was so blatantly naïve, yet I typically expect as much in a ‘book one’ of a series, especially one that features a fairly sheltered princess. I was happy to read that in spite of this, she still showed a strong sense of morals, fire, and spine. Now our MMC? Kairos Draven, aka Void’s Edge. Oh, how I’m a sucker for a smoking’ hot grumpy warrior alpha with a witty mouth, and a strong sense of “touch her and die” attitude, so you know who held all my cards. That ending? Just made me swoon all the harder. Now add a battlecat that rivals the size of a horse…and well Ms. Briar Boleyn you have well and truly stolen my heart. I’m excited to see where the story goes from here, and follow along to see more of the characters growth. I went into this story fairly blind, and I think I enjoyed it all the more because of it. Once the story got going, it had me in an absolute chokehold and it was difficult to put down.

Not a bad start
Format: Kindle
3 stars Thank you Netgalley and Briar Boleyn for the ARC! A camelot/king Arthur retelling with fae. I was hooked by the idea of this book immediately and was eager to jump into this world. • slow burn • enemies to lovers • who did this to you Morgan Pendragon watched her mother die by her father's hand when she was just eight years old, hiding under the bed. Morgan is believed to have the tainted blood of the fae in her veins and is cast aside so that her fathers illegitimate son, Arthur, can become the king. She's seen his cruel treatment of the fae firsthand, so when he sends her on a journey to find a fae weapon she seizes the opportunity to do more with her life. Along the way, she finds more than she could have imagined. I don't know a whole lot about King Arthur and Camelot but I had a lot of fun with this story! The plot has some similar tropes to popular romantasy books (From blood and ash) but there's enough originality here that it doesn't feel like I'm reading a copy. I liked how the fae were different in appearance than what is typical in most fantasy books I've read. In this book they have blue hair, violet skin and a wide range of other characteristics. I thought that the world building was easy to follow and I could easily immerse myself into this world. After reading the blurb I kept wondering when she was going to go on the journey to find Excalibur and it doesn't happen until around the 45% mark. The story is a bit slow at times but starts to pick up once they begin their journey to find Excalibur. The John Wick style Inn was a fun concept that I enjoyed reading about. There are a lot of similarities to this and FBAA and I would have liked to have it be a little more different, but I'm hoping book two will have the story turn into something of its own. Overall I enjoyed reading this story and I'm looking forward to reading book two especially after that ending.

Fun with a late blooming omega
Format: Kindle
I like this book. The story is fun, cute, and sexy. There's just a little drama, some excellent, steamy scenes, and a fairly good relationship building storyline. I especially like how all the main characters are a bit older than the usual 20 somethings I tend to see in this kind of book. Having said that, I wish there were more descriptions of the places, as well as the food in the fancy restaurant. I enjoyed the cocktails at the club, so I missed that kind of detail when Gray took Madison on a dinner date. I also wish there had been more interaction between Lucas and Madison, and Lucas and Rian. It felt a bit lopsided, with a focus on Rian, Madison, and Gray. I wish it had been proofread - there are a lot of typos, but nothing too distracting.
