Sno's new quince

[Sno]

I love quince ,probably because they are one of the first things to flower in spring . All of my quinces are still in the developing stages so they aren't worth showing off today . But . I got this variety early in winter from Ray's .it was labelled as miniature quince . I'm training it to grow in a spiral twisted shape . Just had to show the flowers before it rains tomorrow, because it is too beautiful not to share .

Yep.
Quince are great.
I have a tiny chojubai it can rarely be seen without a flower all year round!

What is your feeding regime up until flowering? Looks great by the way.

Very nice. Quite a pale orange?

Hi Andrew most.of the quince I have are in the ground and they just flower anyway .The few that I have in pots I am developing the branches . I feed them over spring , summer and autumn with comfrey and manure teas whenever I have time ,maybe once a fortnight .the ones in pots I tend to cut the branches back hard in autumn to try and get some taper . They still spot flower but not the same amount as if you let them grow a bit .
This one I am going to cut quite hard back because I want to take summer cuttings .

I'd love to see pics and I'm keen to buy or swap rooted cuttings .

Yes the pot is a stunner .I'm not sure where I got it from . I think I might have an addiction .

Hi Treeman . It's the only orange I have so I can't compare . I am always looking for more but around here they only have the more common chaenomles .

Lovely flowers! Mine is only tiny and has red flowers. Very nice!

Hi Sno.

I actually tried to loop a branch under the soil to create a raft / cutting last season.
Unfortunately it failed, if I get a minute I'll try it again.
Mine is literally a small nothing - just growing and enjoying flowers (which I often remove to promote growth).
I notice it's actually growing a quince now!
