[IBC] Cotoneaster Flowering
Thankyou Jim, Marty and Michael for the information. I think there is substance in what Jim wrote. I was of the opinion that all flowering plants need acidic medium and some iron also. So we were using a compost rich in humus and manure. Watering was a
lso liberal. But interestingly its cousin Pyracantha angustifola with the same treatment blooms profusely in the early spring, followed by green berries, which turn orange and then red in winters. As for Marty's observation, the climatic condition in this part of North-West India are extremely variable. The maximum temperature during summers (May-June) goes more than 40 degrees C, whereas in winters the minimum hovers around 7 degrees sometimes dr ooping to 2-3 C. July and August is rainy season with occasional cloudbursts and torrential rains. And Michael, we have not done any pruning so far, so that the girth of the trunk is increased.

Re: [IBC] Cotoneaster Flowering
Sorry, I've missed out on this thread. Your climate sounds fine to me.
What species of Cotoneaster are you talking of? I see several species growing wild on limestone hillsides here and flowering profusely. They are remarkably easy from cuttings, so I'd try a couple in a mix with some limestone added. The garden varieties prosper in poor soils too, so I think that you are giving them growing conditions that promote too much luxuriant growth.

Re: [IBC] Cotoneaster Flowering
Sorry Kevin! I do not now the exact species, however it seems almost
confirmed that it should be grown in a compost which is alkaline, it should not be overwatered and fertilizer should be 0-10-10. Thanks to all for giving fruitful information.
