Re: Pyracantha flowers/berrys
Sometimes in the warmer climates you don't get good flowering or fruiting of the cooler climate trees. Or flower but no fruit.NaturalSelection wrote:SweeetNBPCA wrote:Yes you should get berries. Green and then turn red.

Depends on the vaguaries of micro climate and species and variety of tree.

Re: Pyracantha flowers/berrys
Grant, when you mention 'warmer climates', what areas are you referring to?
I live in Maryborough on the Fraser Coast and my Pyracantha flowers and fruits every year (orange berries). It isn't in a Bonsai pot yet - I've been growing it on in a styrene box for a couple of years to get some decent development in the trunk. I don't leave the fruit on though, I remove them before they ripen. I don't like the idea of birds spreading the stuff all round the countryside - those thorns are vicious!!!

Re: Pyracantha flowers/berrys
I bought a small pyracantha with a small bunch of dark orange berries on it a little over 12 months ago. The growth since has been huge, but no flowers and of course no more berries since. I didn't know about the 'warmer climates'. Any one else up this way get any?

Re: Pyracantha flowers/berrys
hi guys
I cant comment to much on flower/fruiting, I have never really been a big fan of them until late, it was actually cotoneaster that sparked my interest, pyra are similar to them and John sent me some seed up. Im very keen to try a couple of good cotoneaster too, a good bloke and mate will be sending some up sometime so very keen
