Orange Chojubai Quince
The Orange Chojubai Quince (Chaenomeles japonica 'Chojubai') is one of the most coveted Japanese flowering plants among bonsai enthusiasts. Prized for its craggy branching, deeply textured aged bark, and luminous ruby-orange blooms, this specimen brings year-round character to any collection — and remarkably, it often flowers through the winter months even before leafing out.
This is the authentic Japanese variety, not the cultivar discovered in the US. Imported directly from Japan and propagated in Canada, it offers the refined form and vigour that serious collectors seek.
Chojubai (長寿梅) – the bonsai of long life
Chojubai translates to "long life plum," and in Japan it has long been associated with wishes for longevity, vitality, and resilience. Flowering quince were traditionally given as gifts — often around the New Year — to symbolize enduring life and renewal. Their ability to bloom reliably on bare branches, even in the depths of winter, is a big part of that meaning.
Why Choose Chojubai?
- Winter blooming: Produces glowing ruby-orange flowers even without foliage — a rare and striking trait
- Exceptional bonsai material: Craggy branching and rough, aged bark develop beautifully with regular trimming
- Spot blooms all season: Continues to flower sporadically throughout the growing season
- Authentic Japanese origin: Imported from Japan, propagated in Canada — not the US-discovered variety
- Easy to grow: Suitable for beginners and experienced practitioners alike
