Beginner Gardening: Pruning flowering quince (I think that's what it is), 1 by RESORT2ME

Many hours were put in moving the bushes further apart and more away from the fence. Much pruning was done.

Photo 2 shows how I left them through end of winter. They flowered, got frozen back and flowered again before spring leaves.

Photo 3 shows that more pruning is forthcoming. I sure didn't handle them with kid gloves and they are so bushy that I expect to remove some leaves to watch the fruit develop and grow.

We salvaged and enjoyed a bit of preserves last year and with healthier plants I expect we'll put up several jars this fall.
