A pre-bonsai is a small tree with specific features, that with a little work and some care can become a beautiful bonsai. The pre-bonsais are grown from seedlings to get a good nebari, which is the base of the trunk, fine roots near the trunk, and several design possibilities. This pre-bonsai line will allow you to model and design the bonsai in the style you want or that the tree indicates.

Location: It can be placed outdoors throughout the year and exposed to full sun during flowering. In summer, it can be placed in semi-shade. Resists cold, but must be protected from frost.
Watering: Needs enough moisture. It is recommended not to wet the flowers when watering.
Curiosities: Due to its strong spines, Pyracantha has been used as an impenetrable hedge. We can find Pyracanthas planted in the median strips of the roads, because if a car hits them, it stops without crossing to the other side.
Dimensions in centimeters approx. (width x depth x height): 48 x 50 x 69 cm.
Note: The shape and measurements of the pre-bonsais are approximate. The colour and shape of the pot may vary from that of the photo. A pre-bonsai is a living being. The images that appear are non-binding illustrative pictures.
