Chinses Quince

Bonsai Detail

Brief Description

Chinese quince (karin in Japanese) (Cydonia sinensis) Donated by Dr. Waldman of Kansas City. This tree has football shaped fruit which is too large for the tree and pulls the branches down. When the fruit is first noticed, the tip can be cut and then the fruit will only grow about half the normal size. Notice the unusual bark, which sheds.
