This is a Quince, dug from the garden of my good friend Geoff.
I'd admired the pictures of the Japanese Quince clumps but couldn't find one for sale anywhere....and I doubt I would have been able to afford one anyway !
I happened to mention to Geoff that I was after one and he told me to come along to his house as he had one in the garden that I could have if I liked it.......4 years later we have today's picture.
I find the tree very slow to ramify, they just seem to want to expand and get leggy, getting it to back bud with branch buds as opposed to flower buds has been hard but I'm slowly getting there.
I love freebies !
Am I a girl for loving these flowers ?
