Scarfs quince

Packaged very well but for $60 I was expecting a bigger plant. Planted the same day I received it and two weeks later It is doing very well. Getting new shoots on the stems. Just disappointed in the size of the plant.

Although we haven't planted this yet, I was excited to find that this flowering quince was about 3ft tall! It was a gift for my daughter and she is very thankful and excited. I believe that this matched my expectations.
