collected quince

A Tad confused Rainyday,

Would really like to see ONE pic of the whole tree, from top to bottom and side to side, before I might even begin to suggest any style/s.

In my extensive collected pics of The Entire Quince family of species, I have yet to come across one that is using any dead wood whatsoever.

As far as I am concerned the most interesting features of Quinces are: #1 the flowers, #2 the fruit, #3 the foliage, and way down the line is the wood including bark. When the tree has attained a certain age [?] then the bark comes into it's own. As with all trees, age brings on more character, and a visit to any or all Japanese sites via Google you'll doubtless come across some very ancient trees with incredible ancient and interesting bark, but this appears to be only depicted in the pictures that I have been able to collect of the Chaenomeles Chojubai and Toyo nishiki groups, or simplified the Speciosa family, so I suggest if you have the time, do a heavy Google Search, and Dude, this takes a great amount of time.

Fortunately for me I can have my Computer open 24/7 [very fast cable], also I am retired from work so have tons of time to make exhaustive searches, a pity is that apparently I am not allowed [copywrite laws] to load and post several of my pics, but I might be able to track down some of the URLS, and post them for you, whatever, I shall look into it and see what I can do.

Regards,
Nigel
