For the Chaenomeles cathayensis × C. speciosa seedlings, let’s start up the distribution. If you’re ready to get some please pm me at your convenience. Priority will be given to active forum members who I can count on to stay in touch if they have any good feedback on the seedlings or further breeding from them.
@Roman1 Sorry, I have not saved any seeds for distribution.

Final call for shipping out C. cathayensis × C. speciosa hybrid seedlings. It’s getting warm here and they’re starting to wake up. I’ve still got quite a few more than I need to keep for further breeding. Please p.m. me if you are interested.

Hi everybody. I just started a nursery with cuttings of a wide range of flowering quinces. Hope it will work. If so, I will tell you more later. Regards from Switzerland.

I just saw your post- so I missed shipping. Keep us up on how they do, the fruit sounds interesting.
Looking at them today, I think they’d still be fine to ship as long as they aren’t being sent somewhere they will be hit with a cold snap. They are budding out, but not yet leafy.

For those of you who I sent hybrid seedlings too, I just realized I had a misprint on the tags I sent out with them. The seedlings are as I stated earlier in this thread a cross between C. cathayensis (seed parent) and C. speciosa ‘Toyo Nishiki’ (pollen parent). However I accidentally wrote on the tags that C. speciosa ‘Victory’ was the pollen parent. I apologize if anyone saw that on the tags and was confused.

Thanks for the clarification!
Maybe there will be new seeds again in autumn?
I have not remade this cross as I have enough of the seedlings. I hope to make other crosses in the future, but was not able to get any made this year.

Is the Cathay on your website the cross you mention, or is it straight Cathay?
I have non-hybrid Cathay on my website. I only had the hybrids in my personal stash and had not listed any for sale since they’re a breeding project.
