When to plant quince in Poznań

The Poznań dates are calculated from the observed last spring frost — a 2016–2025 mean of 18 April — rather than from a latitude estimate or a national calendar. The frost-free season here averages 212 days.

First autumn frost: 16 November · earliest 31 Oct

Frost-free season: 212 days · 10 complete years

These come from the ERA5 reanalysis on a roughly 9 km grid, so they describe the area rather than your plot. A hollow, a frost pocket or an exposed site regularly runs several degrees colder, so use the cautious date for a decision you cannot undo.

Final spacing: 400 × 450 cm. Soil: pH 6–7.
