Utamaro Flowering Quince

[fredtruck]

I got cuttings from Brent in 2006 that I fused together to begin this clump. I added more cuttings a year or so later. The Utamaro flowering quince, named for the famous Japanese print maker, is notable for the color of its flowers. As this clump has progressed, it has developed a more twiggy nature. I am hoping to develop more ramification as the bonsai goes along.
