Re: I love chojubai quince
Thank-you John!
So far this winter I have added 3 new red chojubai to my collection and love to see what others have done with theirs.
I enjoyed seeing the variety of different pots. Love the quiet green, has a calming effect with the busy structure of the quince.
nice to see the three fruits. reminds me of how chinese quince are displayed.
The yellow pot, I could also see with a 5 tree shohin display. Would love to see it again when the quince is in full bloom. Could cheer you up on even the most grey winter day.
I wish i could put into words my feelings when I see a chojubai in bloom. definetely brings a smile to my face.
It may not be the first to bloom (ume) in the new year, but I'll definetely be happy with the second to do so
All picture postings appreciated!

Hey Dick- just out of curiosity what got this affair started? Must've been a beauty.

Re: I love chojubai quince
I think what attracted me to this dwarf quince, was the fact that few people knew anything about it. It was difficult to find in any size with age. And information/articles were few and far between.
I can thank my friend Mark Cooper for introducing me.
And Bob Pressler, for providing me with a source.
Along the way, My bonsai teacher, Michael Hagedorn who shares the same passion, taught me how to wire and shape/clip. The photo is one i took while visiting with Ryan Neil because I was so impressed with the bark.
I love the way they'll bloom in the spring, sporatically in summer and again another half hearted attempt in fall.
as they age their bark becomes very dark and textured, and compliments so well with the dark green minature leaves.
In short I love them more than nematodes do:)

Re: I love chojubai quince
It's easy to understand why the red bloomer is more favored. The blooms themselves are smaller as are the leaves. here's a picture of my biggest chojubai. It's a white sitting in an anderson pot (if you know what they are) to give you a relative idea of size. Most articles do not acknowledge the new true orange that has been stabilized from a sport. This color tends to be flower and leaf size, closer to the white. I only have two year old starts, so it will be awhile before they gain any size.
I've found another olde white, the owner says it tends to have a pink blush to the initial bloom. I'm working on her to part with it. (wish me luck)
Like Miss Piggy is quoted as saying..."more is NOT enough"

"more is NOT enough" - you can say that again!
Some really nice trees, I'd like to get my hands on a chojubai one of these days...

Its not unusual at all for a Bonsaist to become specialized within a certain species. Bill V. seems to truly enjoy Maples and Matt Ouwingas Tridents are legend. Perhaps the quince will be such for you?
I have a self confessed "thing" for Beeches....

Re: I love chojubai quince
What size is that tree Mark? It looks larger than a shohin.
I too love that style. I like the way it is almost twiggy rather than ramified if you see what I mean.
(And it's not often I can refer to myself and Twiggy in the one sentence )

Fiona, from memory, it was pretty big (not shohin ) ...probably a couple of feet wide (60cm ) and probaly nearer 3ft (90cm). Lovely ramification and fabulous old bark too!

Drool.
How quickly does it grow? Obviously talking about in a West of Scotland/ South of Wales climate.
I'm assuming one could achieve that effect with a group planting.

In my experience they grow reasonably well, but take ages to bark up and ramify....they can be tricky to repot as I know so many that have been lost in the UK (but some folks have no problems). My Japanese teachers say autumn is the best time to repot. I give them plenty of winter protection.
The white flowered variety seems to be much tougher and resilient with us.
Yes, you can create that effect as a "group" planting ...there are a couple here at Chez Cooper "in the pipeline" that we have created. In my experience too, many hobbyists in the UK don't "really get" Chojubai, especially in sizes bigger than shohin ...shame.

Re: I love chojubai quince
I want to thank John and Mark for the remarkable photographs. I would hate to think what a purchase of anyone of those would do to my pocketbook. I quess if I have to be obsessed with something, this sweetheart of a quince
is perfect. Always open to more photos and comments

Re: I love chojubai quince
I'm picking one up at Swindon in a couple of weeks. I'll be happy if I can get it even close to what we've seen here.

Re: I love chojubai quince
Fiona, be sure and post us a pic. Imagine you are after a red? I don't know if i dare ask Mark to post a few of his that he's developing, or if he'd rather keep them stealth...(hint )
