17-Year-Old Flowering Pyracantha Bonsai Tree | Fiery Orange Winter Berries & Stunning Twisty Trunk in Forest Green Pot
This exceptional 17-year-old flowering Pyracantha bonsai is a truly striking specimen, full of power, movement and year-round colour. Styled over many years here at our rural Mid Devon nursery, it displays an incredibly strong, flowing trunk line with natural twists that create a bold artistic presence. The root flare is impressive, lifting confidently from the soil before guiding your eye along the trunk’s sculptural curves.
Potted into a forest green fluted ceramic bonsai pot, this tree looks absolutely sensational. The deep green glaze enhances the rich evergreen foliage and perfectly complements the bright orange winter berries, which glow beautifully in the December light. The proportions are excellent too: well balanced and full of natural charm — everything you’d expect from a premium Pyracantha.
This is the exact bonsai you will receive.
A Bonsai Full of Colour and Character
Pyracantha is one of the most rewarding hardy bonsai species. It remains evergreen throughout the year and offers continual seasonal interest:
-
Spring: Clouds of pure white flowers appear along the branches, attracting bees and other pollinators with their soft sweetness.
-
Summer to Winter: These flowers transform into vibrant clusters of fiery orange berries that persist well into the colder months, looking like tiny lanterns against the dark green leaves.
-
All Year: The foliage stays glossy and dense, forming a beautiful backdrop for berries and blossom alike.
Because this specimen is now mature, the berry display is especially impressive — a real winter highlight.
