i looked at the goog for images, and decided quince are not ugly. (unlike buddha hand)
but quince seem pretty useless unless cooked: "Quince may resemble pears and apples, but unlike their fruit brethren, raw quince are inedibly tannic and sour."
(see http://www.bonappetit.com/test-kitchen/h...ore-quince)
then thanks to <a contenteditable="false" data-ipshover="" data-ipshover-target="<___base_url___>/index.php?/profile/6-estherhb/&do=hovercard" data-mentionid="6" href="<___base_url___>/index.php?/profile/6-estherhb/">@estherhb</a> (the very best resource chart maker!) i found the answers to my own question, what good is a quince IN GAME:
they can be used to make fruit jam at the preservist (also need glassware and sugar) and to make tinned fruit at the tinnery (also needs tin refined from tin ore) but i think the tinned fruit should need sugar too, or tummy aches might abound...
so as a default start tree crop, quince aren't terribly useful, as you have to get SEVERAL intensive production chains going strong before you can put them to good use (preserves alone will need sugar plantations, sugar houses, shore houses, furnace fuel and glass works. canned fruit will need mines for tin ore, a foundry, furnace fuel, and a tinnery. -- that's a LOT of work -- definitely better (imo) for later , when the city is solidly established and has a bajillion extra laborers available...
quite a quince!
