John Mc says... It's probably on quince rootstock for the dwarfing habit. Don't know what effect that would have as far as flowering is concerned, but, I recently bought a grafted Nagasakawase which is starting to flower within 6 months of purchase. I also bought a Bessell brown which is showing no signs of flowering, and is what I expect for the first two years at least. My older established Nagasakawase, probably a seedling, took 5 years to first fruit. It doesn't have that tall seedling shape, it's very short and stubby. After 7 years it's just over 2 metres high. Something very weird is going on with that tree. As long as the fruit is very sweet and delicious who cares? | About the Author JohnMc1 30th March 2011 2:24pm #UserID: 2743 Posts: 2043 View All JohnMc1's Edible Fruit Trees |

Jason says... I have a couple of seedlings that have a compact shape others are more upright, I think the shape of them is just genetic, I've have no flowers on any other them yet and they are 12-15 feet tall and 7-8 years old so it must be soon. The Quince rootstock just slows them up all over, it's too dwarfing for my climate | About the Author Jason Portland 31st March 2011 10:31am #UserID: 637 Posts: 1217 View All Jason's Edible Fruit Trees |
