Pyracantha coccinea #1

September 2020

This 15 years old pre-bonsai was ordered from Mistral Bonsai near Tarragona in the Northeast of Spain.

It was repotted in March in a mix of pine bark, lava, and pumice.

It grew well since the repotting and was in full bloom in May from the few flower buds left.

In June it was still growing strongly so I removed all the branches that would not be needed in the final design and worked the ugly scars.

It responded very well to the pruning and kept growing vigorously.
