Nice one Andrew!
It has been a while coming, so I am happy for you that it is now yours to bonsai
Lots of potential with that stump
Cheers, Dario.

Hi Andrew, did this one pull through?
I've got access to dig some stumps tomorrow, just trying to work out if it's worth the effort when there's likely to be few feeder roots

No mate, it died off. In hindsight I think I would do things differently. The mix I used was too course 6mm, so that could have been the problem.

Re: Pyracantha yamadori - hmmmm
Too few roots and no foliage either; probably never stood a chance unfortunately. Worth trying if no other options but sort of like trying to strike a big cutting rather than collecting a Yamadori.

Re: Pyracantha yamadori - hmmmm
More a case of nothing to lose here, landscapers had already chainsawn the trunks down to about 20cm high, and the stumpy was coming through today to finish the job. So I dug around the base, found they had some shallow feeder roots so kept digging a foot diameter and two down, smashed and sawed the big roots. Soaked overnight in Seasol and Plant Starter, rinsed out soil, then sawed the mega roots back further before potting up with regular potting mix in poly boxes. If they pull through I'll take some piccies and start a thread. I'm quite optimistic, these things are classified as weeds and were the only things that survived through the dry spell few years back.Andrew F wrote:Ive been eyeing off a few wild Pyra's, Keen to see how you go if you decide to dig them.cre8ivbonsai wrote:Hi Andrew, did this one pull through?

Andrew get into em mate, natural growth habit is straight up, but that just tests our creativity, and even if they die you've done the environment a favour!
