Shohin_Pyrus pyraster_European wild pear

-

 

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

Prunus mahaleb_Small cascade

  Prunus mahaleb Current height:  8 cm Width:  30 cm  with the target 26-27 cm Tree has been collected in 2019 with the plan to make a shohin sized cascade.    Due to the damage of the some important roots during its collection,  the tree has decided to  quit some live veins on its trunk resulting in a massive deadwood.    Air layered in spring 2020 and separated in Sept of that year. Spring 2021.   The inclination of the tree has been moved even further to the  left.  That made a full cascade BUT I did not like it.  It looks too long due to the separation between the trunk and the foliage mass.   IN order to bring the foliage closer to the trunk,  I had to bend the top of the trunk back to the right quite severely.   Step by step in the course of two years we get it in more or less vertical position.  And at the same time span we have used one of the lower branches to create the cas...

Prunus spinosa

 Prunus spinosa_Blackthorn is one of the most attractive trees that can be used for bonsai.   Abundant white buds that look like a pearl develop in full blossoms early in March.   Leaves come a bit later.  And as they are quite small they doesn't "spoil" the elegance of the tree.  The fruit is green  at the beginning but later on it develops its typical dark blue colour.   And again  the size of the fruit is quite small so it is almost perfect fit to the tree.
