Hi,

I have a single quince that I intend to grow into a tree form.  I am not sure 
of
the variety, but it was only an 8" rooted plant when I put it in, and it 
likes its
new home, sending out (growing well over 2 feet) numerous suckers and 
branching at
the ground level.

My plan was to wait for them to go dormant, pruning to a central leader, and 
try to
root the cuttings this fall/winter.

If I can be of help to you let me know, though it is hardly worth your while 
volume
wise.

Bert Dunn of "Hardy Grapes" based in Ontario has the parent tree:

Regards,
Tom
