All Quinces are self fertile but they fruit better if pollinated by
bees. If spring where you are was anything like Derbyshire, it was a
pretty cold and wet one - not good flying weather for bees.

I've just noticed that my big quince tree, normally laden with fruit at
this time of year, is completely without fruit, despite having flowered
as normal.
Any ideas? We've not had any late frosts, used any fungicides etc, and
the plant looks as healthy as ever. The few ornamental crabs and so on
that we have all seem to have fruited as normal.
Suggestions?
