Pseudocydonia, Chinese Quince

[trigo]

Hey Brian, I just read through the whole thread, really nice to see how your quince has been developing. Really great work!

I have a few questions: Do you know how far you can prune back the roots on this species? Are they fussy on root work, bare rooting? Also how do you propagate them? do they strike well from cuttings?

They don’t seem to be fussy about root work, but I do not cut much more than half when I repot.
I don’t recall getting cuttings to root, but did make a couple air layers a few years ago. They are very slow to fatten up.

I have struck one or two cuttings, but majority of propagation have been air layering. They will callus and bridge if you don't cut deep and wide enough. Cut twice as long as you would do on a normal air layer... I have posted a few threads on how I did mine. Don't want to turn this into a propagation thread.
