While out hiking in remote areas I have occasionally run across some old gnarled apple trees left over from early farms, and this totally reminds me of them. All that is missing is the worm holes in the fruit and maybe the remnants of an old rock wall. ;-P

The worm holes in the fruit are on the backside of the fruits......

Great job. Love the few berries present. Like an apple tree after harvest.

Update:
Repotted this small tree.
Got a great Yamafusa pot for it. I did not dare to put the tree in a much smaller pot at once. So I repotted in a less beautiful, slightly larger pot. Next year I hope to get it in its new pot.

It's going to bloom, after that it must grow into shape for next year's club show.

Such a great little tree. How late in to the season will you cut your Cotoneaster back? Do you let growth go at some point in late summer early fall, or continue to trim all the way in to dormancy? I’ve got one I’m developing and wasn’t entirely sure the steps for a waxy leaf evergreen. Thanks!

Still pruning, every other week or so.

It was time to repot this little tree again.
Although our show next month is cancelled due to some nasty virus, I was anxious to get it in the yamafusa pot I got for it.

Plenty of roots

The yamafusa is a great pot, but just not big enough to provide enough room for the roots

Got this unglazed japanese handmade pot that was big enough. And I like it!

Some changes were also made. It can move forward again!

I like Yamafusa pots, but they tend to be on the shallow side. I think your alternate pot is actaully a better choice in both color and its mix of masculine and feminine traits. Nice composition.

Thanks. it is a choice of pot that I had to think about for a while, but when I saw tree and pot together I was quickly convinced. Like it very much!

I really like your Cotoneaster, Dirk. Was it originally grown for bonsai or was it just a typical nursery plant?

BTW, I like it better in the unglazed pot. Good choice!
