I'm hoping to train contorted quince (Chaenomeles contorta) and ume (Prunus mume) this year. These are new for me and I am quite excited about the shohin possibilities of each. I'm somewhat infactuated with bare stems bearing beautiful flowers. The rugged bark of ume contrasted with delicate white blossoms-- exquisite!
Cheers,
