Ok I purchased what I was told is a Chinese Quince from the 53rd annual bonsai show for the San Diego bonsai club. First is it a chinese quince?
It came from San Diego to my little hole of hell here in the palm springs area. The leaves were effected with some odd misshapen dwarfed leaves coming out but it seems like it has started pushing normal leaves and has been growing well the past few weeks.
It came with a fruit on it and I am planning to let ripen since I have never tried a quince. It has also started to bloom again(currently 2 flowers). So second question is, Should I leave them or should I rub them off to save energy?
Now all that being said it does have some suckers growing around the base and I am curious if I should just let it be fo the time being or if I should remove and try to propagate them?
And my last question since I am new to bonsai and my vision isn't exactly there yet. Do you see a bonsai hiding in there? What should I do to start? HELP!!!?
Base and suckers
The Fruit
The Flowers (the open one seems to have been effected by the move as well)
Odd tiny misshapen leaves
Newer better leaves
