PlantFaerie PlantFaerie Gardener Registered: 05/11/05 Posts: 237 Loc: Richmond, Indiana	a flowering Japanese Quince. My parents have a large gorgeous one in their yard and said to just come over and use a shovel to break off a stem from the bottom of the plant. As much as I love my dad I think I should ask some people that know a little better just how to make a starter from it. :) Thanks in Advance _________________________ Anita Blake "I've never met a coffee that wasn't wonderful, it was just a matter of how wonderful it was."

Some plants produce suckers from the bottom that when dug might already have roots started from them. It is one of the simplest ways to begin a new plant. I am not familiar with quince at all. But I do have lilacs that do the same thing. _________________________ ~Tina It is only your very best friends who see who you really are and love you anyway.
