This is a large fruiting Pyracantha. It is an Asian evergreen with small, bright green leaves and clusters of brilliant red berries that are bitter when raw but can be cooked into delicious jams, jellies, and marmalades. The Pyracantha blooms in April with starry-white flowers and berries from September through December. These Bonsai love sunlight.

The Asian woolly-necked stork or Asian woollyneck is a species of large wading bird in the stork family. It is a medium-sized stork at 75–92 cm tall. The iris is deep crimson or wine-red. The stork is glistening black overall with a black “skull cap”, a downy white neck which gives it its name. The lower belly and under-tail coverts are white, standing out from the rest of the dark colored plumage.
