Chaenomeles japonica (Japanese Quince) on the rock project

[minkes]

Hi everyone!

This thread will be about development of my Japanese Quince on the rock. I don't know, if every Japanese Quince is also Chojubai or Chojubai is only some cultivar - if anybody could clear this for me?

Anyway, here are some photos of my progress. The tree is quite old, although still pencil like. I digged up it few years ago from my garden and planted on the rock. Now I am aiming for development of branches and every year take little bit of soil from top so I could reaveal more of roots on the rock as times go up.






And some pics made today

I don't want to create another thread, so here are my two others quince trees and one preparing in the garden.

Very nice @minkes! I love flowering quinces on rocks, I’ll be starting one next spring too.
Chojubai is a dwarf cultivar of chaneomeles.

Thanks! I have my eyes on you, you have there very good stuff to watch and learn from! Now I need to find some real Chojubai to play with, mine are just probably some common cultivars.
