Thank you. The more sunlight it gets, the darker red it does.

How big are these trunks @bonhe ? Hard to tell from the pictures. I'll post some pics of mine tomorrow if the weather is good

Thanks, does that include the mother tree you take the cuttings from? How old is the oldest? Have they been in pots their whole lives?

No, the mom has multiple trunk as quince characteristics. She has been in 15 gallon plastic pot for 8 years. She is about 15 yo. At first, she has 1/2" diameter trunk base. Now, she probably has at least 6" base and each trunk is about 1 1/2 " diameter. In my experience, flowering quince growth rather well in container with little soil. Most of my quince have been in the pots their whole lives.
You can get very nice rootage surface in few years from cutting, like this one

I definitely will make a cutting from this particular branch for its flower. The mom starts waking up now with some flowers here and there.

This guy wakes up so late! One leaf bud starts opening this afternoon!


2 flower buds are swelling at this time. This tree will be very interesting to watch.

Oh my goodness, I'd love to buy one from you. If you are ever willing to part with some of these, message me please. I think they are stunning. I bet you hear that a lot though! Hah.

 

[bonhe]

This kind of flower pattern is the one I am looking for! The mom starts waking up at this time.
