During the workshop at which he (DeGroot) styled the tree,
someone said treat it like a Pyrocantha. It appears to be a
cross between Pyrocantha and something else (according to someone
else) -- hence the odd name.
Branches are said to have a LONG memory, so the wiring may have
to be redone a couple of times because the tree has a smooth bark
and wire scars would be LONG lasting.
I didn't see you there, Tom ?????

Hi Internet Bonsai Club folks. I received the following
request, and have not
a clue as I don't know what a "pyracomeles" is.
Can anyone help Joyce who asked the original question, which
is:
I attended the Florida Bonsai Convention this past weekend
in Cape
Canaveral and bought a pyracomeles styled by Dave DeGroot. I
have not been able to
get any specific information as to the care requirements for
this beautiful
specimen. I live on the east coast of Florida (Palm
City/Stuart area north of
Palm Beach). I checked Tom's plant information associated with
your website but
there was nothing about this plant there. I want to give it
the care needed
for it to thrive because it has great potential. I would
appreciate any
information possible. Signed: Joyce Snodgrass, email:
Thanks,
Tom
