Pruning of pine bonsai is mostly carried out in autumn, sometimes lasting until February of the following spring, but it generally needs to be implemented in combination with the needs of modeling. Under normal circumstances, the shoots germinated in autumn and summer buds last year should not be pruned, and they should be kept as much as possible, but the old leaves that grew in the previous year should be appropriately cut off. Moreover, the bonsai pine trees should be roughly pruned and reshaped in time after being shaped, and at the same time, the natural germination and growth of their branches should be promoted.
Moreover, it is very important to choose the position of the cut that needs to be trimmed. Generally, cutting should not be carried out at the headquarters of the branch, but should be carried out at the branch, so thinning should be adopted. Moreover, if the leaves grow too much and too luxuriantly, the leaves that grow below the contour line should also be cut off reasonably.
The pruning of pine bonsai should be carried out according to the characteristics of plant modeling and the needs of modeling. Original: www.pjCn.ORg mainly refines the plant shapes of trees reasonably to achieve the ideal display effect. Especially in the process of pruning, the old branches and leaves with poor growth ability should be removed to improve the permeability of the tree, thus increasing photosynthesis, promoting the germination of new branches and leaves, and keeping the bonsai tree moderately young and energetic.
The pruning of pine bonsai must follow certain rules, and it is not allowed to prune blindly, otherwise it will not only promote the germination and growth of new branches and leaves, but may even bring great losses. The main purpose of pruning is to promote the growth of bonsai and improve the ornamental value of bonsai by thinning plant types, so it is usually not appropriate to take a lot of heavy pruning in the pruning process.
Pruning of pine bonsai mainly includes bud cutting and pruning. Bud cutting is mainly to cut off the long and prominent bud tips on the top of bonsai trees, and the cut parts should account for 1/3- 1/2 of the whole branch. Cutting off the terminal buds can make the needles grow more luxuriant and shorter, and the branches will become thicker. On the other hand, if it is not pruned in time for a long time and allowed to grow freely, it will inevitably affect the beauty of the plant type, because the distribution of branches and leaves is more natural and messy, the tree potential will be weakened, and the ornamental value of bonsai will naturally be greatly reduced.
Pruning can last from late autumn last year to February of the following spring, because pine trees are basically in a dormant state during this time, which is more suitable for pruning. During the period, branches in the form of long branches, disorderly branches, old, weak, sick and disabled branches were mainly cut off. For big branches, if a big wound is formed after pruning or short cutting, the wound should be sealed with adhesive tape in time to prevent excessive exudation of tree juice and damage to plants.
But from the aesthetic point of view of bonsai, pruning needs to be combined with plastic arts. In the process of pruning, we should follow the principles of natural posture, proper selection and reasonable layout in order to create elegant pine bonsai. Therefore, the requirements for bonsai creators are relatively high, not only skilled pruning techniques, but also profound artistic skills, requiring creators to be aware at any time.
