Pyracantha

Post by squizzy »

Hi all,

Thought I would start a thread on a pyracantha I have been developing since I bought it in a 6 inch pot a year or two ago.

Photos will follow but I will use tapatalk as it seems easier to load them that way.

The after shot. Trunk section is possibly a little long but still ok I think.

I will try and keep it updated as it goes.

Any critique welcome

Ps roots are an issue but will hopefully improve.

Cheers

Nice movement in the trunk. Not much taper after the 3rd bend but Ok with that.
Should backshoot on the trunk and give lots of options for more branches.
