Chilliwack, British ColumbiaQ.japanese flowering quince
Wondering if it is easy to start from a cutting? Would you put it right into the ground, would you use rooting compound or would you just stick the branch in water until roots form??

March 30, 2016A.Cut a healthy stem about 3" in length from the plant.
Pinch off any leaves or flower buds and make an angle cut on the end.
Start in trays of equal parts peat and sand--approx 3" in depth.
Dip the stem ends in rooting hormone and insert into planting medium.
Secure the medium around the stems and water.
Place the tray in a well lit and well ventilated room.
Roots should form in 75 to 90 days.https://www.gardeningknowhow.com/ornamental/shrubs/flowering-quince/japanese-flowering-quince.htm

Me7 qlQ.Chaenomoles Fruit
I have bought a Chaenomoles plant which appears to be doing well and I have noticed what resembles a small apple is hanging off the end of one branch. What is this and should I do anything?

August 14, 2016A.That would be the reason that Chaenomeles were an early favorite of farmers when it was first introduced into the U.S. -- that fruit is actually edible when it ripens in the fall. This article contains more information about Chaenomeles fruit:

Certified ExpertA.Quince are closely related to apples so this looks like Cedar Apple rust. It will not kill the tree, but is unsightly and can cause reduced production on the tree. This article will help you:

Mount Airy, NC 27030Q.I don’t know what this bush is
A couple years back an older gentleman dug me, what he called... a flowering quince... I used to have one and loved it so I nurtured in a pot and planted in my garden last spring. It is budding for the first time and the buds looked pink but have now darkened in color (my pic is the beginning- the buds now look redish) but this one has some danged lethal-looking thorns :-O maybe it isn't a quince after all... ?? thanks for this forum

Certified ExpertA.Yes, this is definitely a flowering quince. They do have thorns naturally, and only recently has there been varieties bred without them.
