I’ve been interested in shohin twisted exposed root pyracanthas for a while but couldn’t find any resources on how they’re created. I spring I planted a few pyracantha berries and had 5 seedlings pop up. I potted 1 of them in a tall tube filled with coarse aggregate. It’s grown well and I wired the trunk a little while ago. Today I unwired the trunk and checked on the roots. They seem to naturally being doing as I’d hoped! I’m sure they’re twisting and turning down the rest of the tube as well. The roots have hit the bottom of the pot and are starting to poke out the drainage holes. I’ll probably repot the seedling in spring and wire and twist the roots and slowly start exposing them in the future. I’ll try to update this thread when I have some more progress to report
