Quince tree

My tree has dropped all of the immature fruit and is steadily dropping its leaves so looks very unhappy. I am hoping it will survive, I have tried to keep it watered since noticing its distress but fear I am too late to save it. Will have to wait until next year to find out.

    Sorry for the late response. One of our quinces did this for 2 years in a row. So we pollarded it right back to the main trunk. The branches grew back the next year with healthy growth but of course no flowers/fruit. Since then it has been doing what it should and we have had fruit for the last 4 years. This year we have had more fruit drop than normal. We don't water it apart from when it rains. Have no idea why it lost all its leaves etc for 2 years but certainly pollarding it has given it back to us.

    Interesting. Perhaps trees can be as perverse as human beings!
    I was seriously thinking of cutting my tree down, wrong tree, wrong place. It is the new leaves and blossom in Spring which has saved it so far. I keep giving it another chance as in tree life it is still only a teenager.
    I am still debating.
