Detailed Explanation of Pruning and Wiring Techniques for Pyracantha Bonsai
Pyracantha has extremely strong vitality; old stumps collected in the wild can have an age of over a hundred years. The branches have strong budding ability but weak branching ability, meaning that in spring almost every bud sprouts, but only the top 12 buds grow into long branches of more than 45 cm. First-year new branches are flexible and can be wired at will; even if a slight creaking sound is heard, there is no great harm.
