  An old quince tree snapped at the base in recent storms and keeled over. (It produced its last single fruit five years ago and I have a seed-propagated sapling growing in the garden). Sadly, it has had its day and it needs to be cut down. I am hoping to preserve shoots at the base for potential new growth.
