Pyracantha Coccinea

An awesome SUMO bonsai. Few sumo bonsai have the features like your tree.

1. an aspect ratio of 1

2. an exaggerated, continuous taper

3. a good-sized base and roots (gripping type)

4. well proportioned branches at the right places

5. natural developmental pattern to the growth

Besides all these features, your tree also confers pleasure with the seasonal changes in its flowering buds, flowers, and fruits.

Hopefully this year we are coming to spain and I truly hope to buy a potensai of this species. Can you help and guide us from where we can buy. Thanks for sharing the chronological series of this marvellous tree.

A beautiful little tree - it is trees like this that give humble beginners like me the inspiration and motivation to strive to get better.

Next month I´ll repot and of course I´ll show you here.

Yvonne what means "bonsaicraftmanship", my english is really poor and I don´t understand.

Thank you so much!

A craftsman is a skilled worker or a skilled artist, so "bonsai craftsmanship" would mean that the work that you have done on this tree show a high degree of skill - something that I think we probably all agree with!

Thank you

Phil

Hi David,
I also now have a Taisho-en pyracantha and find this tread very interesting. do you have any tips to keep the tree super healthy rather than just pretty?

it only cleared quaranteen this spring, had been cut back quite hard for shipping so has a few areas of flower but much new healthy growth- i was feeding well until flower buds showed then removed all fertiliser and just water well  - should feed be added once berries are visible?

thanks for any special pyracantha hints and i don't mind cutting a tree back hard now if it makes it better tomorrow if that is needed

This picture is from early spring - no new shoots or flowers !



cheers for any help

Marcus ( i still check your book for tips often)

ahhh,big hug back to you my friend.....

that is good info as i just look after mine the same as the other trees too. do you ever remove all leaves to make more shoots?

i am so happy to have a copy of your book - is it still available to download?  

we will meet one day...........Marcus
