They have the propensity to grow as a clump style since they produce new shoots that bark up quickly along the base .Nice find! The trunk structure doesn't look all that great to me but then again I have an irrational dislike for anything which isn't a single trunk design![]()
Yeah, just figuring out what all those late summer / fall repotting techniques vs spring.Wire those branches when they are mere shoots. As you yourself pointed out, they grow multi-trunk, and it is hard to get any girth on a single trunk. They throw straight growth, and if you don't wire early, you'll be regretting it.

Thanks for the tip. I also have the option put into a green house if I need to as well.I wouldn't worry about repotting a healthy plant at this time of year. Cut down the nursery pot with an x-acto knife so you can see what you're dealing with. Scrape away the soil until you reveal the root flare at the base. You can clean up crazy growth and open up the structure, somewhat, but at this time of year in Penn I wouldn't expect that you could prune it hard and it would push new growth and recover by fall.
Did you get yours from Evergreen? I just placed a order for other stuff last week lol that shipping cost is just killer out to me for only one item.I have done both with quince with no problems. For a complete bare-root and root prune I would do that in spring, personally. I also just up potted a few small chojubai within the last couple of weeks no problem.
I agree with BNut that you could probably repot this one now if you want. Spring is also great. Some advise against spring for due to some sort of damaging nematode or disease, but I don’t believe that applies in all locations and I have not had that problem.
Really ballsy and very cool.It’s gotta heal some cuts and elongate popping buds but It’s great seeing the quince respond well.. especially with the apex all alive.. gonna be a neat little shohin one day
