[astroboy76]

hey guys,

thought i would share some pics of my pseudocydonia sinenis aka chinese quince. it goes a brilliant red and it awesome to behold. went from green to red in just under a week

its still in the process of becoming a bonsai (still in its foam grow box and growing out the branches for some thickness)

brilliant colour, ive found that my chinese quince has also gone extremely red this year. it must be the dry sunny weather we've been having thats given really good autumn colour this year

This quince went this red last year so im assuming it will put on a great show every year! heres hoping!

i am yet to see this quince flower. Last year i di a lot of hard pruning so any flower buds would have been chopped off in autumn before they had a chance to bloom in spring. This year, due to having already selected the branch structure (and now im just growing the branhces out to thicken them up) i am hoping i will see blooms this spring. does anyone who owns one of these quinces ever have issues with flowering?
