These Chinese Flowering Quince were wired while young to establish trunk movement, giving them a foundation for future bonsai development. Grown in 6" pots, they offer established curves and branching to build upon through continued trunk thickening, pruning, and styling. Individual trees vary in size and shape.
 
Chinese Quince (Pseudocydonia sinensis) is prized for its exfoliating bark, which develops an attractive patchwork of colors as it matures. Pink spring flowers, glossy green leaves, and yellow to red fall foliage provide seasonal interest. Its response to pruning makes it well suited to developing a finely branched bonsai canopy.
 
Care Notes
Light: Full sun, ideally at least 6–8 hours of direct sunlight daily.
Water: Water thoroughly when the soil surface begins to dry. Keep evenly moist during active growth without leaving the soil waterlogged.
Fertilizer: Fertilize regularly throughout the growing season to support healthy growth and trunk development.
 
📢 Cold-Hardy to zone 6—it requires a winter dormancy and should be kept outside year-round. In locations with extreme cold, we recommend placing it on the ground, mulching around the pot, and protecting it from wind.
