I have planted a cool, north-facing wall with a nice range of chaenomeles for picking.

My father grew chaenomeles on the cool wall of a big wooden shed.

Grow chaenomeles against a warmer wall and you can have them in flower by the end of the month.

Chaenomeles don't mind shade or atmospheric pollution and so are a favourite for front gardens.

Others are too short and if they are to be planted need to be teamed with well-adapted winter jasmine or chaenomeles and not a climber that will outstrip them to wave uncomfortably in the breeze.
