Flowering Quince
Hi Jim, Love the tree and the anticipation of the flowers is a great way to greet the spring and the better weather.
I think the tree is begging for a better pot, maybe an old chinese?
Regards Chris

Re: Flowering quince
Correction: The tree is SCREAMING for a better pot! I just haven't found it yet. This one is "old Chinese," though -- about 40 years old.
Since the tree is penjing/literati styled, I do want a colorful pot. Round. I had a nice hand-made, blue green one, but something knocked it off the table onto a flagstone and that was that. This one -- though a very cheap, made-in-Hong Kong, Oriental bazaar-type pot -- at least fits the mood of the tree.

Re: Flowering quince
I just love flowering quince.
Your cascading quince is just great Jim.
It seems to be a very old specimen, do you have older development pictures?
It would be interesting to see.
Here's mine..ready to pop any moment now.

Re: Flowering quince
It's interesting to see the different ways quince are used as bonsai. I remember seeing yours, Jim, in years past. It looks really good.
Here's mine.

I bought this from a friend of mine in 2005. We both got divisions of a garden plant, with permission, in 2003. I think the parent plant is well over 80 years old.

Re: Flowering quince
How easily do they air layer? I have a couple of lovely garden shrubs and I'd like to try and get some bits off them to develop as mame / shohin trees.

Re: Flowering quince
Hi Fiona
Quince are easy to airlayer, and also cuttings set roots fairly easy. So just go ahead.

Re: Flowering quince
They're among the easiest to layer or grow from sizable cuttings. Have at it, Fiona.
These other ones are lovely. Thanks for showing.

Re: Flowering quince
Nice Cascade.
I like quince, but they have big leaves. Does anyone know of a variety that has smaller leaves?

Re: Flowering quince
The leaves on mine are about as large as my thumbnail < 1". I don't consider that to be so large.

Re: Flowering quince
The leaves can vary a little in size but not much. Before exhibitions the leaves are often removed and only the flowers are left back. After the exhibition also the flowers are removed so the Quince can develop new leaves and regain strength. It is important only to do this with a healthy specimen.

Re: Flowering quince
This quince belongs to a friend of mine. It's still a long way off being the finished article but I thought I would share the flowers. It has a monster trunk and was salvaged from an old garden that was being cleared. I was amazed to see the single trunk as most of these tend to be a mass of thin trunks.

Re: Flowering quince
Beautiful and impressive trunk. Most likely many smaller trunks fused together by nature.
