A very small plant with yellow fruits seen in Sacramento on 7/10/14. These fruits reminded me of a fruit I had seen in Srinagar which … had identified as Quince.
This small plant was in a home garden.
Not sure if the fruits were edible or ornamental. Not quince … Chaenomeles japonica, Japanese quince, an ornamental with very beautiful flowers. Thanks a lot for the correct id.
Feeling bad to have missed out on its flowering.
Thanks for your link, very beautiful flowers indeed!

Date: 13 January 2018
Elevation: 4400 ft.
Flower for id pl.
Location -Thimpu (Bhutan) Date – March. 2018 Cultivated? looks Bombax., bur aestivation is different.. One doubt isn’t Bombax sp. are tall trees ? or is it a misgiving ? Because all were medium shrubs. it was not cultivated. I saw many such shrubs near the roads. It looks like Japanese Bird Cherry.
Likely to be Chaenomeles japonica..
Yes, I agree with … Is ‘Japanese Bird Cherry’ a common name for this flower ?
