Shoot, I put the whole question in the title. Will it?
Will hard pruning a quince make ramification down lower?

You or the tree have only two options... 1) send out new buds hence ramification 2) die. I think option 1 is more likely to happen then option 2.

I assume we are talking about Chinese quince? (versus Japanese quince?)

I have this chonky chinese quince I had to chop back and dig out in November. It’s budding back now but only along the existing branches.
I was wondering about how well they ground layer, this was grown in the nursery can in the ground for years and as a result the roots are a mess.

I had poor results layering (Probably kept too wet).
Heavy pruning a healthy well-fertilized specimen results in loads of buds for me.

Like most trees, Chinese quince will bud best closer to the chops so if you want low shoots chop low. Don't expect to get shoots way down the trunk by just taking the tips off branches.
Seedling Chinese quince roots seen to be strongly vertical but they tolerate really hard root reduction. Chopping the roots hard when they are young produces a much better nebari
Other quinces - European quince (Cydonia oblonga) and Japanese quince (chaenomeles sp) seem to have similar habits though Japanese quince is a shrub so naturally grows new shoots from the base of the trunk and from roots.

I've been telling everyone the secret to developing Chinese quince is to ignore the root work and grow out your massive trunk, then ground layer a perfect root base. They layer really well for me.
Hybrid concrete/groundlayering of Chinese quince and K-hornbeam (place your bets!)
Place your bets on the success or failure of these projects! I would especially appreciate feedback from folks who have specifically tried ground layering on Chinese quince or Korean hornbeam I have this Chinese quince and Korean hornbeam, both with great trunk potential but hopeless roots. I...

I forgot all about that thread. Definitely going to be ground layering mine then, after it recovers.
