The simplicity of a white bloom is special in and of itself. ?
Welcome! It's just a great way to look back at how far you came. Something we sometimes forget to do, but when we remember. It's a tresure trove of our progress.Yes! Will do, I'll shoot some better pictures thos weekend, thanks!!
I was told that japanese quince leaves can form in clusters and often have a small round looking leaf that forms.
The chinese quince grows a single leaf not clusters and does not have the small round leaves.
And a picture of the Chinese one? Should clear this up right quick if you share that. Chinese quince are a bit reticent about blooming when young, so I would imagine they are both Japanese, the picture should tell the story.Well, the Japanese little Quince is blooming all over, while the chinese has only two flowers. Below, the Japanese this morning.

That does not look like a Chinese Quince to me.
You mean it looks like Japanese, Brian?
That is one of the reasons I started this thread, I couldn't find the obvious differences between the two, I don't have access to other examples around here, and when researching on the Internet, the confusion became bigger.
Anyway I am glad you guys are trying to put it in its right place!
the Chinese quince images show a single leaf forming from each bud where the Japanese form more like yours. I don't know if there are other varieties that do this but Chinese doesn't seem to be one.
By the way, I am not interested in "being right" or "being wrong", I am just trying to understand.
Chinese Quince have alternating leaves on a branch...not clusters. (Though at The end of a branch where new growth is pushing it can offer sometimes a cluster appearance until The branch extends.) The leaf pattern shown on this post is clustered. Tagged wrong most likely. Lovely bloom none the less. Honestly Japanese quince are lovely...very showy trees which readily bloom easily@Cadillactaste would that be a Japanese as well since the leaves are growing in clusters?
Yes, you are right, but not all images, when searched, show single or paired leaves instead of clusters.
On my first try on Google, it came up with... Clusters.
