Update on a few Cotoneaster, now in full bloom.

That’s just lovely. Do you know the variety? I’ve got a bit of a love affair with Cotoneaster at the moment. I just struck a bunch of cuttings myself, do you feel they took pretty easily?

Note the aim of the thread; Each post should include a picture of (part of) one of your own trees.

After some needed rain.
All my guys are looking good this year. Maples are extending, leaves in good shape (considering their species) and hardening off to their green state. Elms doing what elms do, exploding. Pyracantha also doing what elms do + flowers. My pear tree is my star player, super green, super vigorous, great health display, was also root reduced this year and repotted. Even though I did that work, given it’s response, I’ll not do drastic pruning on it. Hornbeam all good, healthy leaves, no mildew. Olive tree is pushing growth, much sooner this year than last. The combination of great sunshine and warm temps (for the UK that is), and heavy rain recently has made all the trees very happy.
I’m dumping organic fert on those that need the development and just lighter sprinkling on those that
Pics are not impressive or presentable, just purely pictures of health and vigour. They look a mess, even! But, growth and health
. Now I have a lot of work to do on them..

Pinus edulis (Piñón; Pinyon Pine) collected by Todd Schlafer in 2018. I repotted it from the big tub it was sitting in to its new Dave Giorgi pot four weeks ago. Pretty massive reduction, but there were a lot of fine roots. It has since pushed candles and the needles are starting to open.

Nice tree
I think it's called Cotoneaster Dammerii "Coral Beauty". Yes, they're not hard to root, they'll take with me just sticking them in the soil in a shady bit of the garden.Random pic of one of many project trees dotted around the place, this being another Hawthorn, of which I've got a few now. This one hasn't flowered yet but I'm hoping it will be a tight, powerful tree with either a semi cascade type feel or long first feature branch. I've been trying to drain some energy off it as it's been popping water shoots and suckers.

I was thinking that was the variety. Love coral beauty the best of the bunch of Cotoneaster. I just struck a bunch of cuttings for many projects down the road.Nice tree

Will need pruning soon

Cut it back to two full leaves all over the tree unless you are looking to elongate a portion of the tree for design possibilities. Take the prunings for cuttings they root rather well.
