Bonsai with wood is a bonsai that combines the growth of trees with the dead old roots.

Method of making wood-attached bonsai: In the process of cutting and cultivating the materials of old root bonsai, it is inevitable that some hundred-year-old ornamental roots will die, but it is a pity to abandon them and cannot be resurrected. We can use it for the second time and trim the dead old roots properly (it is best to make it with root art and coat it with stone sulfur mixture for corrosion prevention). Then choose the branch point to dig a groove or make a hole, then embed the seedlings in the groove or through hole, and then cut and cultivate for two years after survival. Finally, after the tree and the old root grow together, the ornamental value is also good. There are abundant root wood resources in mountainous areas, and dead tree roots with hard wood and beautiful shape can also be used to pick them up and make them.

Old root bonsai is a kind of bonsai with strong ornamental value among tree bonsai. But the molding time is very long, and it will take ten years to take shape.
