Double Take® Orange Flowering Quince is a breakthrough, thornless variety that offers a spectacular, long-lasting spring display without the maintenance hassle of traditional quince. It bursts into bloom in early spring with fully double, peony-like flowers in a rich, glowing orange hue. Unlike older varieties, it produces little to no fruit and is completely thornless, making it a clean, user-friendly shrub. Its compact, rounded habit and exceptional flower power make it a perfect choice for foundation plantings, low hedges, or as a vibrant focal point in mixed borders.

Spectacular Double Orange Blooms: Features large, fully double, camellia-like flowers in a vibrant orange color that covers the bare branches in early spring.
Thornless & Sterile: A major improvement—this cultivar is completely thornless and produces no messy fruit, making it ideal for planting near walkways and in family gardens.
Neat, Compact Habit: Grows into a dense, symmetrical, rounded mound without the wild, spreading habit of older varieties, requiring minimal pruning.
Low-Maintenance & Reliable: Inherits the legendary toughness of flowering quince—deer resistant, drought tolerant, and adaptable to a wide range of soils—but in a more refined package.
Long-Lasting Floral Impact: The double flowers last longer on the branch than single forms, providing an extended period of spring color.

Knowing how we measure the size?

When browsing our plants, you may notice size terms such as Gallon, Multi, or Stand. These describe how a plant is grown, containerized, or structured at the time of sale — not just its height. Understanding these terms will help you choose the right plant for your space and expectations.

🌱 Gallon Size (Container Size)

Gallon refers to the size of the nursery container the plant is currently growing in (e.g. 1 Gallon, 5 Gallon, 15 Gallon).

A larger gallon size generally means:
- A more established root system
- A sturdier plant
- Faster visual impact after planting
Example:
- 5 Gallon: Ideal for residential gardens, easy to handle, good balance of value and maturity
- 15 Gallon: More mature, provides quicker results in the landscape

Note: Gallon size does not guarantee a specific height, as growth varies by species.

🌳 Multi (Multi-Trunk / Multi-Branch Form)

Multi indicates the plant has multiple trunks or main stems growing from the base.

Commonly used for:
- Ornamental trees
- Feature plants
- Japanese maples, olives, crepe myrtles, etc.
Why choose Multi:
- Fuller, more sculptural appearance
- Strong visual presence even at younger ages
- Popular for design-focused landscapes

🌲 Stand (Single-Trunk / Standard Form)

Stand (short for Standard) refers to a single, dominant trunk with a raised or naturally formed canopy.

Commonly used for:
- Shade trees
- Street trees
- Orchard and structural plantings
Why choose Stand:
- Clean, classic tree form
- Easier clearance for walkways and lawns
- Preferred for long-term structure and uniformity

🌿 Choosing the Right Size

If you want instant impact → larger Gallon, Multi form
If you want long-term structure → Stand form
If you want flexibility and value → mid-size Gallon containers

If you’re unsure which size or form fits your project, our team is happy to help you select the best option based on your space, timeline, and design goals.

Q: How does it compare to older flowering quince varieties?
A: The key differences are: Thornless stems, fully double sterile flowers (no fruit), and a neater, more compact growth habit. It offers all the early spring color and toughness but eliminates the drawbacks of thorns and fruit litter.

Q: Does it need full sun?
A: Yes, for the most abundant flowering, plant it in full sun (at least 6 hours of direct light). It will tolerate light shade but will produce fewer flowers and may become leggy.
