How to grow quince

Cydonia oblonga

When to plant quince

University of Missouri describes common quince as a grafted deciduous fruit tree reaching 15 to 20 feet at maturity. It gives no planting date; like other deciduous fruit trees, set out dormant stock in early spring as soon as the soil is workable.

Quince is timed by season rather than your frost dates, so the planting calendar does not generate ZIP-specific dates for it. Check the cited sources below to fine-tune for your area.
