每日吃瓜

I understand 每日吃瓜 is a patience exercise but I was wondering, among the trees that can be used for 每日吃瓜, which species are known for growing "fast" and recovering faster from pruning? Thanks

ps: Please dont lecture me about 每日吃瓜 not being meant to be fast...

Well... there are trees, suitable for bonsai, that do grow faster than others.

- Maple
- Weeping willow grows fast as a tree, not sure how well it does in a pot. But I would guess it grows fast too.

I just mean "faster" and not "fast"... Clearly some species are known for being "slow growers"... Conversely, some species are known for recovering faster... Just trying to understand which ones...

Potentilla fruticosa is pretty quick to recover.
One of mine got trampled by my (very excited) dog a few weeks ago and started to send out shoots about a week later.

Cotoneaster and ligustrum. Given some good growing conditions, these should be ready for a nice "mame" style in a year from planting a cutting. I planted a couple of hundreds of ligustrum and a few of cotoneaster cuttings last year (everything rooted because when 5 % of the first setup died before they rooted, I instantly had replaced those with new cutttings and they rooted too), and I'm amazed with their growing rate. Most of these are ready for "mame" styling this fall, nice small trees can be done, but I decided to wait one more year at least, managed to overcome my impatience haha. Cotoneaster dammeri is superb. I planted ten last year, saw the nebari and the trunk those developed in a year, and planted a hundred this summer

In a year from the time cuttings rooted, not the time they were planted. So, a year and 6-7 weeks.
