The story of this tree

A multi-trunk cotoneaster with exposed roots and mature, silver-grey bark. Against that bark the colours change all year: white flowers in spring, red berries and crimson leaves in autumn. It is a continuous show of colours and shapes, and it already sits in a hand-made bonsai pot in a neutral, natural colour.

Cotoneaster simonsii accepts pruning well and ramifies quickly.

What I would do next

Only regular maintenance pruning: fill out the canopy and balance the volume of the different branches.

1-to-1 Consultation
otreblaidur ★★★★★ eBay · Translated from Italian

The courier was late, but the plant is healthy, thanks also to the excellent packaging. A promising larch with a good line and already good foliage. A vaguely literati style that can be accentuated. It deserves a proper pot. Very satisfied.

Fantastic and very professional seller. Available from the start for every doubt, right up to a precise, punctual shipment with top packaging. The tree arrived in perfect condition.

FAQs

How is a specimen shipped?
In its pot, with the soil secured and the tree braced inside a rigid box. Delivery across the EU is included in the price. We ship Monday to Wednesday so the tree never spends a weekend in a depot. You can also collect it at our nursery in Merate.
Yes. Every specimen is photographed after its last major styling work and you receive that tree, in that pot. If anything changes before it ships (a branch removed, a repot), we update the photos first.
Any time of year. In the hottest weeks of summer we may hold a shipment for a few days. A tree arriving in winter should go straight to a sheltered spot outdoors, not into a heated room.
Yes, as long as it gets plenty of sun and is not pruned hard in spring, when the flower buds form.
Semi-evergreen: in a mild winter it keeps most leaves, in a cold one it drops part of them and pushes new ones in spring.
