Big Old Cotoneaster
A friend of mine has recently got into bonsai and particularly liked my little shohin cascade cotoneaster. There are plenty more where I collected that from, so I took him for a look. We found this big, old stump with some dead wood, which I thought was quite a good piece of material. My friend couldn't see any potential in it, so I ended up taking it home myself. What do you guys think - a good piece of material or not?
Not the best virtual, but I see something like this in it...

Lee,
just leave it on the next plane to the West Indies, and I wonn't hurt you [ much ]
Seriously speaking, even though I have a grown fear of decayed wood and the care needed to preserve, I would say go for it. Looks excellent !!
No real experience with cotoneaster [ koh toe knee ahh stir - love that word ] but I did wonder about the soil amount needed to get to your plan?
Thanks for showing, please keep us updated.
Best of growing.

* I grew one in a gallon pot for a year in Florence, Italy ------------ very little experience.

Re: Big Old Cotoneaster
No doubt about the prospects of this yamadory...i am wondering though...when did you collect this?or you put it directly in your bonsai pot?
Thx Savvas.

Very nice find.
Be sure to protect the roots from the frost in the winter, it would be a pity to lose it.
But I wouldn't worry too much about the wood decaying, from what I've seen, the wood is very hard.

I think you have a lovely tree but if it is a newly dug tree, do protect it this Winter.
