Quince in a Pot
Need some advice please.
I have 27 healthy plants grown from seed that are currently 3 to 4 inches tall. I would like to grow some on a 6 ft wooden fence but this would have to be done in pots as there is no bare soil nearby.
Is it possible to do this and if so how large would the pot need to be and how long would it thrive in such conditions?

Chaenomeles is a shrub.

So, you might have either! Quinces have obvious seeds, Chaenomeles ? I got no clue.
If it's Cydonia you can prune to pretty much any shape, Chaenomeles is a little pickier (don't cut it down too far), but still fairly shapable.
First 3 pics Cydonia oblonga...true Quince
Next 3 Chaenomeles...common name Japanese quince.
