Yep I need to get a quince this year!
Too bad Nybonsai12! ;-)Thanks for sharing. I have a couple quince from brent and would have shared photos of flowers, but my 2 year old picked off the buds!!
Thanks for the pictures. How old does the tree have be before it starts to flower like that?
Bonhe,
Somewhere on page 6 of this thread, you mentioned that you air layer a big branch on this tree. Did it take? Do you do anything special to the air layer? I have a 2 or 3 big branches on mine that I want to air layer but not sure if it will be better to just try to root as cuttings?
Thanks for asking Namnhi. Yes, it did.Bonhe,

No problem at all Osoyoung! I really appreciate your answer for me!I know you addressed this to Bohne, but ...
Think about this. As an layer, the shoot one is trying to root is sustained by the mother plant's roots via the xylem (wood) while roots are developed. A cutting has no life-support. In other words, it is always better to root hardwood (i.e., a 'big branch') by a layer than as a cutting.
On the other hand, softwood (this year's shoot) cuttings often root easily, but cannot be layered.
Bohne, I apologize for stealing 'your thunder'.
