Soil mulch is an excellent way of care of the shrub. Mulch (it can be wood solid, bark, crushed nut shell or peat), poured with a thin layer (up to 5 centimeters) around the quince. The soil mulch is performed in May, when she is well moistened and managed to warm up.

In the autumn period, the soil can be mounted after a cold low air temperature is established.

Learning to cut shrub

Japanese quince tolerates the haircut well, but amateur gardeners do not like to do this because of the presence of spines on the shrub. Work on trimming is performed in gloves from dense tissue so as not to damage the skin. Crop the quince in the spring. This is called "Sanitary Crimple", when dry branches are removed, as well as shoots that were damaged by frosts. To easily complete the trimming, use special garden tools that are pre-sharpened. It can be both an ordinary garden leg and a secateur. After all non-residential shoots are cut, the plant will be restored faster.
