📝 Growing Notes
Quince trees are self-fertile but produce better with a second tree nearby and benefit from pollinator-attracting companions like lavender and borage. Comfrey underplanting provides free nitrogen-rich mulch and improves soil structure. Fire blight is the chief disease concern; avoid planting near junipers which host the pathogen.
