My first RED CHOJUBAI

[Zac]

Hi this is my first chojubai. So it's going to be a learning experience. I got it Friday from Left coast bonsai. It lost allot of its leaves and allot more started yellowing and it dried out during shipment across the U.S. it's a 4 year old rooted cutting supposedly from a tree that was started from a cutting from one of Michael Hagedorn's trees. I hope it survives! I'm starting this thread to hopefully get advise and suggestions (I did research the spices before I purchased it but can never have to much advise). Also hope to document the progression of this tree. I'm not sure what direction I'll take it but want to see if it'll survive first. Any advise or suggestion for care or design will be appreciated.
Thanks
Zac

At this point just try get it healthy again and keep it alive.
Give it water, give it some sun (once it’s received from shipping), and give it some time

Yes thank you I've read his articles. Most things I've found are for more developed trees not working with young material. I've read all the threads on hear about them also least the ones I found.
Thanks

Congrats! Guess you got this cultivar down?

We often propagate small Chojubai and other quinces here. Once settled in a decent training pot, think about trimming 3-4” of foliage off the long branch (in fact we’d trim most of it off) and propagate more.

They are easy to strike and fun to grow out. They love sun, moisture and good ferts.

Thank you. No I don't have this cultivar down. Reading info and actually doing is way different . Yes after I make sure it's going to survive I was thinking of cutting that long branch off completely if it starts back budding. I watered it and have in morning to midday sun then partial shade. I haven't fertilized it yet since its so stressed. It seemed like a neat cultivar thats why I decided to buy one. I just hope it survives and I can keep it happy and alive in my area zone 6-7.
Thanks
Zac
