Pyrus pyrafolia. Fall color. The tree stands 10 inches from the pot rim.

Ten inches (as I said). <g>

This is a seedling from a batch of pear relish my wife made in the late 1970s. Seeds, skins, etc., got tossed into the woods. A dozen trees resulted. Most were transplanted along our drive. When last seen they were 40 feet tall and had gorgeous flowers and fall color. This is the only bonsai. In a pot since about 1980.

Thanks all. This is, I guess, the tree that has been in a pot longer than any of my others.

I only wish it would bloom some spring. I guess I'll have to try some "bloom buster" on it, too.

Many trees, especially in the Rosaceae, require a certain number of chilling hours in order to bloom. In Pyrus pyrifolia (sic) this is 600 winter hours below 45 deg F (7.2 C). You may not be giving it an adequate dormancy.
