Young fruiting quince

11 years ago

About a month and a half ago, I planted a 4-foot fruiting quince tree. It has now leafed out, and will probably bloom within a few days. Should I pinch off all the blossoms, since the tree is still small? Or does it really matter?

Incidentally, the reason I got a new quince tree is that the one I planted about 4 1/2 years ago is essentially useless. It was 8 feet tall and very thin at the time. And the very first spring, it had galls and leaf problems, which have never gone away. I've pruned it, so it's only a little taller now, but the trunk is definitely broader. Anyway, even though it has bloomed just about every year, I've yet to get a single quince from it. As I said, useless. :( It came from Forest Farm, and I doubt I'll ever order from them again. Hopefully this new tree will perform much better. It already looks nice and healthy.
