Recognize the material

Chaenomeles speciosa can flower on woody branches before leaves emerge. Flowers occur along branches that may carry spines.

Botanical reference: Chaenomeles speciosa — NC State Extension

Make a deliberate design choice

Trace the whole branch from base to tip before selecting a cut length. Its bends and side shoots determine the space required. Cutting all pieces to one length may remove the feature that made them useful.

A comparison you can reproduce

Count each purchased branch as one stem and check real base thickness against the neck. Use Vase Advisor for height only; a favorable ratio cannot establish that branched wood fits or is adequately supported.

The comparison is an original BLUMIVELA planning exercise, not a tested arrangement or a botanical treatment.
