How to start a Bonsai from Japanese Quince (Easy for beginners)

Creating Bonsai from nursery stock material is always challenging. Today I continue the work to progress four of my Japanese Quince as I move them from badly draining soil into a much-improved soil mix (Kaizen No 2).

Japanese Quince are very challenging for bonsai, there's only one way to get them to pop secondaries so it takes a lot longer to build a decent bonsai.

Thanks for the hands on videos. The potting mix here is generally the same; fine particles that stay wet and don't get any air to the roots. I'm sure your trees will appreciate the nice gritty soil.

Thanx for the vid Xav, you’ve given me the oomph to tackle repotting my Azara raft which has been steadily climbing out of its tray all year! Travelling mercies for your Orkney Odyssey, God bless you 🙏✝️. ✌️🇷🇺☮️🇺🇦✌️

Cool snack for later! Those trees look good, they will do much better in the new soil! I wish I could afford the better soil, but not quite yet unfortunately.

Nice video, Xav! I look forward to seeing these trees flour. I was gifted a couple of Quince last spring, and they have grown on very well. I donknow if mine are Japanese or not but their flowers are gorgeous. Cheers!

I admire your spirit of adventure with the late repots. i am a little concerned at the amount of foliage you have taken off. It is my understanding (perhaps mistakenly) that auxin is a key regulator of root growth and having chopped off so much foliage you will have removed a large amount of auxin too.
Looking forward to your "i told you so" in spring 😉
Thanks for all the work you do to keep us informed.
