Re: Quince snapshots
Hi Treeman,
I like your quinces - any advice on how to increase the trunk on them? I have a few quince twigs that don't seem to grow much at all!

Re: Quince snapshots
Steven, I have toyonishiki but the problem with this cultivar is that it is a chimera (meaning it is composed of 2 different sets of DNA one red and one white) So, depending how much of one or the other is present in the propagation material, you can end up with mostly white or red in the plant. I suspect most cuttings were taken from the white/pink part again and again so the chances of getting a red flower is greatly reduced. I had a large plant of this which only threw white/pink flowers in 20 years. It is a very common complaint. I'm working on resolving the issue.......Steven wrote:Love Quince and yours are looking excellent Mike!

Re: Quince snapshots
You are not feeding and watering enough in the summer. Also, don't forget the sun!macca66 wrote:My bloody quinces won't flower.

Re: Quince snapshots
Treeman you are such a tease , that white speciosa looks like it has some great movement hidden in the dodgy photo . Mine are just starting to show buds .
