In May of 2005, I repotted the clump. I used a slightly smaller pot, and removed portions of the original “clump stump” that had put out no shoots, leaving portions I thought still viable. I washed off all the remaining yard soil and was pleased to see many fine feeder roots had developed.
In the very late fall of 2005, I removed more portions of the clump stump that weren’t producing, and I also removed a couple that were, because the shoots were all wrong. I made a few tweaks to my basic design.
Because I had reduced the size of the clump stump from 18” to about 10”, the pot now seems a bit small, although the tree will grow a lot very quickly. I am not sure but what a smaller pot might be necessary.
The first picture shows the repot in May of 2005.
The second picture shows the quince as it is now, in a very cut-back form.
The first flower buds are visible now.
