Pollination Info for Double Take Orange Quince (Chaenomeles speciosa 'Orange Storm')
Double Take Orange Quince is a self-fertile plant, which means it can produce fruit without the need for another quince plant to pollinate it. However, if a different variety of quince is present nearby, cross-pollination can occur and result in larger yields of fruit.
The flowers of Double Take Orange Quince are pollinated by bees and other insects. They are hermaphroditic, containing both male and female reproductive organs, and produce nectar and pollen to attract pollinators.

Proper pollination is necessary for successful fruit production. Lack of pollination or poor weather conditions during flowering can result in reduced or no fruit set.
Overall, Double Take Orange Quince is a reliable and productive fruiting shrub that can thrive without the need for specific pollinators.
