For Taiwanese who like bonsai and like bonsai making, they must know the significance of pruning to trees.
Pruning is a basic method of tree bonsai modeling and is an indispensable means of maintaining the shape of the tree.
Pruning not only improves the ventilation and light transmission of trees, but also inhibits strength and supports weakness, balances growth, and accelerates molding.
……
Since pruning is so good, since pruning is so important, and now that it is winter, can you still prune trees?
<h1 class= "pgc-h-arrow-right" > 3 advantages of pruning deciduous trees in winter</h1>
This question, Taiwan friends, you have to listen to the director of taiwan to analyze it.
Conifers, deciduous trees and other evergreen trees vary in their optimal pruning times due to their respective habits.
Evergreen trees are mostly pruned in spring and autumn.
Although deciduous trees can be pruned all year round, it is the most critical to prune in winter.
When the tree grows for a year, the branches and leaves are densely mixed, which not only affects the ventilation and lighting of the branches inside the tree, but also hinders the viewing and reduces the value of art appreciation.
Winter pruning, the first can maintain the beautiful shape of the tree; the second is to play a pivotal role in the physiological health of the tree; the third is more important for the growth and development and modeling of the second year, to create favorable conditions.
In the case of East China, North China and Central China, the pruning time is roughly from early November to mid-November; in South China and South China, the pruning time can be extended to late November, when the trees are in the deciduous period.
Key point: Generally, trees are pruned after the leaves have fallen, and if necessary, they can be picked in advance.
After defoliation, the object image is clear, easy to observe, and it is beneficial to the removal of branches and the correct treatment of the angle of branch shearing.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" > winter pruning technique</h1>
Winter pruning can be roughly divided into two major links: the first trimmer and the fine shear.
First cut
It is the overall correction of the tree shape, which is the overall grasp of the macroscopic level.
Step 1
First of all, the tillers and the basal branches on the internal tillers and the basal branches are all pruned, weak branches, and diseased branches are all cut off, and the long branches can be appropriately shortened.
Ensure that new shoots for the coming year are drawn from the thick branches, creating a virtuous circle and keeping the trees young.
Step 2
Then, starting from the whole, the tree bonsai is trimmed and shaped.
Emphasize the relationship between layers and layers, pieces and pieces of virtual reality, light and heavy, dense, scattered, flaccid, hidden dew, etc., to achieve overall balance and harmony, orderly branching, transitional nature, and fully display the momentum and charm of the entire tree bonsai.
Fine cuts
It is a step deeper on the basis of the first shear, taking into account the retention of each branch, the length of the leaves, and the direction of the bud eye.
Tip 1: Trim principles
From bottom to top, from inside to outside, from the local to the whole, the branching and slicing strictly follow the principle of "one branch sees twists and turns, two branches are short and long, and three branches are gathered and scattered", "upper short and lower long, outer short and inner long, back short surface long, reverse short and long" for pruning.
The author is required to have a tree in his chest and to do the length and angle of each branch appropriately.
Like a branch, it generally has bud eyes on its left and right sides (there are alternate and opposite). For alternate branches, if you want the branches to develop to the right, cut the branches just before the right bud where you want to keep the ideal length of the branches.
Because the tree has the law of apex growth advantage, in the spring of the following year, the bud on the right side of the front end can first germinate and twitch, and the purpose of developing to the right is achieved.
Tip 2: Length of branches
The length of the branches should be adapted to the situation, depending on the branches, it should be short and not long, usually about three sections.
In the spring of the following year, new shoots can be extracted from the base, so that the branches of the plant are thick and dense, the twists and turns are strong, and the transition is natural.
Tip 3: Hanging and pulling
At the same time, pruning can be supplemented by metal wire to hang and tie branches such as long branches, bush branches, parallel branches, reverse branches, and cross branches.
For loose branches with large spacing, the wire can be bent into an "S" shape to traction and lifting.
This method should be carried out before the beginning of November, so the trees are not yet fully dormant and should be reshaped.
If it is carried out during the harsh winter season, the trees have entered a dormant period. The sap has long ceased to flow, and the branches are easy to dry up and die after being planted.
Tip 4: The part obeys the whole
The upper branches are appropriately strongly sheared, and the lower branches are relatively weakly sheared.
There are two reasons for this:
First, the upper branches have good ventilation and lighting conditions, and they must properly control the top advantages. The lower conditions are poor and the growth is weak, and the lower conditions are appropriately improved, the nutrition is regulated, and the supply is sufficient to ensure the balanced growth of the trees.
The second is to take into account the lighting angle of each branch. If the upper branches are too plump and dense, it will affect the ventilation and lighting of the lower branches, which will cause uneven growth over time, and even cause the lower branches to fall off the leaves and die.
Finally, looking at the overall situation, the pruning is repeatedly observed from five different angles, front, back, left and right, so that the overall tree shape is considered to be ovate.
Through winter shearing, for unformed plants, their branches can be short and strong, the layers are clear, and the molding cycle is shortened; for the molded pile scene, the shape can be more perfect, and the branches are more robust and thick.
Maybe before today, you never thought that you should prune the deciduous tree bonsai in winter. After today, do you know how to prune your plant bonsai in winter?
If you encounter any problems in the process of pruning the deciduous tree bonsai in winter, the old way, come to the station chief, wow hahahaha...
If Taiwan friends can be found, it is a kind of trust.
The director shoulders the trust forward and will not fail!
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" > on the balcony</h1>
Well, today I will talk about this, if there are any questions that Taiwan friends hope the director of Taiwan will answer, the following message area message Oh. I very much hope to get feedback on the problems of Taiwan friends, the director will work harder, one-on-one to give you a reply, one-on-one to relieve your worries.
Taiwanese who like this article, tap your index finger, forward the circle of friends first, and then pay attention. More wonderful articles, detailed steps, unique skills, hahaha... The director will continue to offer it to the Taiwan friends.
Like the station long text, please forward;
Planted on the balcony, learning is endless.
