New stock twin trunk quince

[JudyB]

Thanks guys! I think that it's going to turn out nice.

Judy, nice Quince. Has it flowered, or when do you think it might?

[JudyB]

Thanks Ed. No flowers, I'm probably working it too much for that. Got a good while to go before I let it spend energy there instead of the branch development.

Judy, Just got a Chinese quince myself. Interested in seeing how this one has progressed. Mine has a corkscrew bottom, which the more I look at it the more I find it unpleasing. Think I am going to chop it right above the first curve and regrow. Anything that you have found problematic with this species?

I need more benches, as I am still needing one of these guys as well, nice tree btw

 

[dick benbow]

drew, if anything I've had nothing but good luck having this species re-invent itself. Take some time to trim the wound properly so when it heals it is easy for the tree to rebark itself.
Be sure to let the new growth harden up before trying to put movement into any of it. I watch till the green starts to brown up before messing with it.
I'm downsizing. In the move I'm going away from japanese trees and focusing on local trees.
BUT...I can't give up on my quinces. Chinese or japanese and especially my chojubai.

Good luck with yours.......

This tree is still doing well, healing and growing some weight on the primary branches. This is one tree I never overthink about when and what I do. It's pretty forgiving, and takes wiring shaping very well. Ill try to update soon.

 

[JudyB]

In a new pot, going to do more cutbacks after it settles in for the summer. Coming along...

New pot is beautiful.

Actually, an old Randy Doughty pot from a J. Maple. Good pots wonderful glazes. Bent Pine Pottery.

I love the strength in the trunk.

Another nice pot too!

Nice work as usual Judy. I would like to suggest a black top layer with a few small patches of moss perhaps a total of 6 square inches. That pot is nice but I feel separating the pot from the tree in that fashion would put more emphasis on the tree

Fresh soil is always so bright, just getting some "patina" on the soil will help the image as well. Thanks Grimmy.

 

[JudyB]

A better picture of this pairing, now that I'm learning how to use my camera a little better. This will help with the perspective of the tree not getting so overpowered by the pot.

 

[JudyB]

Did some shaping this winter and some clipping this spring. Maybe I'll get some flowers this year...
Amazing what a difference taking one small branch off can make. Look between the two photos.
And it's humble beginnings...

Coming along nicely. C. Quince are great.

 

[Ceijay]

that's a real cute tree. I really like the pot you put it in too.

 

[JudyB]

They sure are fun to develop @Brian Van Fleet. @Ceijay that is a pot by Randy Doughty. I have several of his pots, my giant trident maple is in a huge one he made for me. Great guy, you can find his stuff at an etsy store called Bent Pine Pottery.
