Flowering quice_Harvest time?
I do like the flowering qunice as a plant. Very decorative bush to add something special to small gardens. Easygoing species decorated with beautiful flowers and nicely smelling fruit. But that is not all, the fruits are great to make a homemade jams...
So not a big surprise we have a number of these plants sprinkled all over the garden. And three of them as a prebonsai. John Silver is the largest of them now showing a single fruit off. Nicely smelling I should say. Any time I pass it in the morning I stop there and get a deep breath...

The sacrifice branch at the bottom should stay there for another year or two to get more flare at the bottom. The surface roots are still covered by the layer of soil and will be revealed during next repotting. The terminal branch should follow the same time schedule. More or less. Need to improve the transition between old and new wood...
Just for the fun to have this fruit I have slowed down this year growth. Was it worth it?
No doubt.
