火棘,蔷薇科,半常绿灌木或小乔木;白色小花,五六月盛开;果实球形,如黄豆大小,熟时呈橙红色,缀满枝头,灿烂夺目,经冬不落,是制做观果盆景的良好素材。但受自然分布的限制,北方广大地区野生桩材难寻。用来制作盆景的火棘苗木,一般多为引进苗或自繁苗(播种和扦插),不但育桩周期长,费时、费力,且不易作大型桩景,也不如野桩形态古朴、自然。我经过两年多的摸索和实验,发现利用野生山楂做砧高接火棘,不但可以弥补其以上之不足,还能提高其抗寒力,实 Pyracantha, Rosaceae, semi-evergreen shrubs or small trees; white flowers, in May and in full bloom; fruit spherical, such as the size of soybeans, orange-red when cooked, decorated with branches, brilliant, Do a good view of the bonsai material. However, limited by the natural distribution, it is hard to find wild pile material in the vast northern part of the country. Pyracantha bonsai used to produce bonsai seedlings, mostly for the introduction of seedlings or since Fanmiao (sowing and cutting), not only stubble cycle is long, time-consuming and laborious, and not easy to make large-scale pile King, not as simple as the wild pile shape, natural. After more than two years of exploration and experimentation, I found that using wild hawthorn as an anvil to catch firethorn can not only make up for its deficiency, but also improve its cold resistance.
