Repotted the Japanese Quince. Not sure, but could be a Toyo-nishiki. It had horribly compacted roots. Whoever had it just, kept putting it in larger pots and NEVER root pruned. I found several different drainage screens embedded in the rootball at various levels. I really had to take away a large chunk of roots, but they were so tangled and there were some rotted ones, so hopefully it will push some good new growth. I have read that it is better to transplant in the fall (because of root gall), but I really did not think the plant could make it till then. Not a ton of blossoms, but I will fertilize well this year, clean out some of the suckers, and prune to encourage better blossoms next year.
