On Guemes Island in Washington state, Edith Walden began her quince journey in 1995 and shortly turned generally known as the Quince Queen. The island is quick ferry trip from Anacortes and the land itself the place Edith has her orchard of quince, apples, pears and extra fruit was as soon as the homestead of the Mathew Brothers and dates again to 1858. As such there’s a 160 12 months outdated Gravenstein apple tree that sits within the middle of the orchard. Edith calls it the Mom Tree.
