I have been searching all over online and cannot find seedlings. Evergreengardenworks is out this year. Does anyone know where I could purchase some?

I've been looking for chojubai for good money for ages here in EU, found this http://www.bonsaistudio.hu/chaenomeles-japonica-shohin-pre-bonsai-02-/ ...not labeled as chojubai, but for me it looks like it. What would you say?

You'd need to see it in flower to be sure, but definitely looks like it. Keep in mind there are numerous genetic deviations in "chojubai", so they don't all look alike. I have several from different sources and they're all slightly different in terms of bark, flowers, etc.

Here are some I have available. All are red flowering. Some were softwood cuttings and others hardwood. All are 2 years or older. Priced from $30 to $110. They are not inexpensive but they are not cheap either.

I have 2 from Don. Excellent source FYI...
What do you think, is this chojubai? It's from the e-shop web page, it's some 25 cm tall for a measure and labeled as Ch. speciosa...
I ordered the younger one for 6€; it's still being on its way with some young itoigawas and nice azalea cultivars, so I can't wait...

There are dozens of Chaenomeles speciosa cultivars. Both 'Kan Toyo' and Chaenomeles speciosa "Hime" and several others that have leaves that are as small as "Chojubai", the bark in the image is either very young or is something other than 'Chojubai", Since "chojubai" is a desired cultivar, and could get a better price than other Chaenomeles speciosa cultivars, if the add did not say 'Chojubai" it probably is not Chojubai. It will take time, to be certain. If the flowers look right, then you still have to wait the years, even decade or so to see if it develops the rough bark of 'Chojubai" , with out a good provenance, there is no way to tell with 100% confidence what cultivar it is. Putting a name on it would only be a guess.
Thank you for the response. Hmm, at least it's some dwarf cultivar with small leaves and red flowers. I will try to find and read more about Ch. speciosa cultivars and 
wait. The two cultivars you mentioned - 'Kan Toyo' with wht / pink flowers can be excluded and 'Hime' with bright red flowers with yellow anthers... this mine should have red flowers according the seller.

Today my quinces labeled as Ch. speciosa were delivered, took pictures. And here is the shop link with the offers:

Just let it run to build up the metabolic energy to flower. It looks pretty vigorous so it won't be long now.
