I've shown this tree here before, but never in fruit. And, it has a flower. I've had it with fruit before, but never with a flower at the same time. Enjoy!

Fredtruck, I like this a lot! As skinny as the trunks are in a double trunk tree you will probably get more that do not like the look, but to me this looks very natural. I bet I could see a dozen trees that look like this in a day of driving in the country. I think the pot compliments it well and the rock you have it planted on works well too, all in all a great specimen, it works for me.

I've always like this presentation, and it's cool that it's got a flower and a fruit, wonder if the weather messed with it's mind...
 
I am not sure, Judy. I changed the fertilizer for all my flowering quinces to Dyna-Gro (sp?) for flowers, and the trees have responded vigorously, with more flowers. I've had fruit before on this one, as many as five of them, but I have always taken them off. This time, I let one go. It's been fun to watch.
