Bass,

According to Joseph Postman: "Quince is not difficult to root from either
soft-wood or hard-wood cuttings."  He also says that "you could graft them
and bury the graft union so that they self-root".  This suggests that they
can be stooled or maybe trench-layered.  And anything that tends to
suckering is a candidate for propagation from root cuttings.  But that's
all second-hand info. I was wondering If anyone had any
first-hand experience ex grafting that they could share, any tips and/or
tricks?

Regards,
Mike
