I bought this at the end of last summer. I began my interest in bonsai last summer... So, not knowing exactly why and what to do I chopped off most of the long branches and kept the pot covered with bark chips over winter. It pulled through and is now thriving... Or so it seems.

My question now is brach selection and genaral advice. I've noticed that the quince doesn't behave like "regular" decidious trees in that it doesn't produce branches in a way that I'm familiar with... The trunk divides directly into 3 big branches - of which one or two have a barky texture and the last one has a young feel.

I would very much appreciate your input on where to cut - especially which one(s) of the three branches I should keep... I'm thinking that the middle one will cause a less visible scar, also since I don't have any real bonsai tools yet.

Should I perhaps cut down everything except parts of the branch(es) that comes off the trunk and try to rebuild a tree structure from scratch? Is that even possible with Quince? Many questions... Hope someone takes time to load the images and provide some nice input!
