The Influence of Soil Work on Quince Production in the Context of Climate Change

Setting up a quince orchard is a safe and highly profitable business from the start. The lifespan of quince trees is about 15-18 years, and the fruit can be quickly exploited because they can be eaten fresh, preserved in compotes and are the raw material for the production of schnapps and plum brandy.
