Bonsai Comments: Chaenomeles/Pseudocydonia sinensis are popular for bonsai because of their tiny, lovely pinkish flowers in the spring, exfoliating bark, and brilliant fall color. The Chinese Qunice likes full sun except when it is hot should be some shade and protect from frost in the winter. Growing from seed in the spring after cold treatment, the seed will germinate quickly.
