For the effect of trunk bending, both inclined trunk and bent trunk can be cultivated with columns. Using iron wire, screws and other tools and measures such as carving and twisting to shape the trunk will make the trunk bend and tilt. The height of modeling arhat pine is generally controlled at 1.5m ~ 3.5m, and the modeling principle is "modeling by trees".

Second, the branch shape:

1, branch modeling includes branch selection, direction adjustment, growth control, extension posture correction, etc. Choose Podocarpus with slightly curved trunk, cut off weak branches, whorled branches and branches below 1/3 of trunk, and proceed from bottom to top. Leave the stout side branch 1/3 above the trunk as the first main branch. Generally, one branch is reserved on each floor, and the first branch of the trunk is longer. Winding iron wire from the trunk to the first main branch, winding it at the end for 45 degrees, then bending the first main branch into an "S" shape with an included angle of less than 90 degrees with the trunk, binding the small branches with iron wire and being in the same plane with the first main branch, and then trimming the whole branch into an oval shape. In the future, there is a suitable distance between branches in each layer, so that the distribution of branches can be combined with the actual situation and density.

2. Generally, it takes six months to one year to remove and re-bind the thread. The pruning of branches can also be assisted by bamboo sticks. Tie the bamboo stick with hemp rope first, and then fix one end of the bamboo stick on the trunk. By adjusting the direction of bamboo sticks, branches will grow in a specific direction. Thick branches can lean against branches with thick wire, tie the wire and branches together with hemp rope, and then bend the tied branches according to the design. The branches that are difficult to bend can be operated. Cut a small mouth with a knife at the main point of bending to bend the branches.

Third, crown pruning: cut off dead branches, diseased branches, parallel branches, endogenous branches, etc. During the annual dormancy period. In the growing period, when the new shoots grow to about 10 cm, they can be topped and promote branching. If it blooms, you should pick some buds in time to avoid consuming nutrition. Stop pruning after 1 1 month, otherwise the new buds will be easily frozen after germination again.
