This Pyracantha (Firethorn) bonsai is a beautiful, mature specimen standing just under 10 inches tall and estimated to be 13–15 years old. It is planted in a blue glazed bonsai pot filled with fast-draining bonsai soil, giving the tree the ideal environment for strong root health, balanced growth, and seasonal vigor.
The tree has been cut back multiple times over the years to develop a solid structure, creating a thick trunk with natural taper. Primary branch selection is already in place, giving this bonsai a well-established foundation. It’s a wonderful tree for someone who wants to enjoy a piece that is already shaped and ready for refinement.
Seasonal Interest
Pyracantha is loved for its year-round beauty:
• Spring: small white blossoms
• Summer to fall: colorful berries (orange, red, or yellow depending on the variety)
• Winter: attractive branching and textured bark
This seasonal cycle makes it one of the most visually rewarding species to grow in bonsai form.
