Re: id yellow fruiting hedge shrub please

The fruits are very hard and astringent and very unpleasant to eat raw, though they do soften and less astringent after frost when they are said to be "bletted". However,they are suitable for making liqueurs, as well as marmalade and preserves, they contain more pectin than apples and true quinces. fruit contains more vitamin C than lemons up to 150 mg/100 g.
