[IBC] Pruning a Pyracantha
One of the trees I lost was a nice little Pyracantha cascade.
I do have several potensai Pyracantha on my growing-on bench, but they'll need a lot of pruning. Which leads me to my question: Does anyone have any pruning tips for this species? Pruning scars seem to NOT heal over with Pyracantha. Is there some technique that promotes callusing of wounds on these? All suggestions gratefully accepted.

[IBC] Pruning a Pyracantha
Kathy Shaner is quick to point out the importance of sealing all pruning wounds on pyracantha, especially with the problems associated with fireblight, which she said can be transferred from one plant to another by the movement of birds and insects. Ernie Kuo has a similar story on one of the trees in his Gallery at http://tinyurl.com/2xhhp Good luck, Matt -- TreeBay - Tips:5¢ Advice:Free -Carpe Tree-um- (Seize the bonsai!)

[IBC] Pruning a Pyracantha
I hard prune my Pyracantha in the early fall. I think it's before it sets
buds for the following spring. After it leafs out in the spring I shape it. I don't touch it again until fall. I have 4 pyracanthas including 1 cascade I started last year. ************************************************** ****************************** ++++Sponsored, in part, by John Quinn++++ ************************************************** ****************************** -- The IBC HOME PAGE & FAQ: http://www.internetbonsaiclub.org/ -- +++++ Questions?
