Firethorn Bonsai Tree — Pyracantha with Twisty Trunk and Seasonal Colour
This beautiful Firethorn bonsai tree is full of character, charm, and year-round interest. Its trunk twists with natural energy, creating movement that feels both graceful and mature. Each curve shows depth and age, giving the tree a wonderfully rugged presence. The foliage is small, glossy, and evergreen, keeping the tree vibrant even in the colder months. In summer, it produces clusters of delicate white flowers, and by autumn these blossoms transform into bold red berries that glow against the dark foliage. It is a tree that truly celebrates the seasons.
As part of our Premium Range, this is the exact bonsai you will receive. It is potted in a rustic bronze ceramic pot that adds warmth and earthiness to the display. The tones of the pot complement the bark and berries beautifully, creating a harmonious and balanced presentation. This pairing feels thoughtful, natural, and full of quiet elegance.
A Bonsai with Colour, Texture, and Personality
Expressive Trunk with Natural Movement
The twisty trunk is the star of this bonsai. It offers a lovely sense of flow, with textured bark and gentle curves shaped over years of patient care. No two firethorn bonsai trees ever look the same, and this one stands out for its unique structure and artistic form.
Flowers in Summer, Berries in Autumn
This species, Pyracantha, is known for its seasonal display. The small white flowers brighten the tree in early summer, and the vivid red berries that follow provide months of colour and visual delight. Wildlife adore them, and so will you.
Evergreen and Hardy
This firethorn bonsai tree thrives outdoors all year. It is hardy, reliable, and surprisingly forgiving, making it a great choice for beginners who want an easy-care outdoor bonsai with plenty of impact.
Easy Care Guide
Positioning:
Place outside in a bright position. It loves full sun but will tolerate partial shade. Protect from severe frost and icy winds.
Watering:
Keep the soil evenly moist. Water thoroughly when the top layer begins to dry. Check daily during warm weather.
Feeding:
Apply bonsai fertiliser weekly during the growing season. This helps to support flowers, foliage, and berry production.
Pruning:
Trim new shoots regularly to maintain shape and encourage compact growth. Prune lightly after flowering to preserve developing berries.
Repotting:
Repot every two years in early spring using a free-draining bonsai soil.
