The potted life of this tree has started at the time I have realised there is reasonable thick trunk/root? under the soil level. An air layer has helped me to remove the long uninteresting part and here we go...
Pears and cherries are trees of my childhood. At my Grandparents there used to be an very old pear with small fruit. Was it a P. pyraster? Don't know. I only remember the starlings singing in the morning somewhere inside the crown near their nesting box... There are so many things we would like to know but the people who could help you with that left this side of river many years ago... A bit of the history of this tree: Air layered back in 2019 from a donor tree. Spring 2025 Height: 20 cm Pot: Jakub Malcharek. The colour of this growing pot reminds me the area where I search for my mahaleb or pears. Dry slopes with scattered reddish rocks and tiny vegetation flowering in the spring. As a display pot I will select probably slightly more masculine, smaller and darker pot. One day perhaps
31.12.2003 Last day of 2003 and I am in a woodland looking for yamadori on a loamy slope of Central Bohemia. Location facing south with scarce supply of water. Place where you can see dwarfed oaks, common junipers, and dogwoods. I was searching through an undergrowth when I spotted a tree partially buried with fallen leaves and branchlets, but the visible part has some interesting deadwood. And if you are a yamadori hunter, you know what it means. The heartbeat rate goes up, you go down on your knees, and your fingers start cleaning the area with eager expectation of what is under the cover. Sometimes a disappointment or a hesitation and sometimes a sheer pleasure... 2015 2018 2025 Height 55 cm Pot: China
Fantastic flowers mate. Stay safe.
