There are two ways to prune pine bonsai, one is bud picking and the other is pruning, which are also the two most commonly used ways.

Dressing time:

The best pruning time is 10 to February of the following year. This time is the dormant period of pine bonsai, which will stop growing, so pruning is the best time at this time.

Pruning method:

First, cut off branches and leaves that are too messy, too long and have been eroded by pests and diseases. After cutting, wrap all the cuts with white tape to protect the trees. Then pick the buds, mainly the buds at the top of the branches, but choose longer ones, so that the original branches can be denser and thicker. However, if it is not pruned for a long time and allowed to grow freely, it will not only destroy the aesthetic feeling, but also weaken its upward trend.

Pruning principle of pine bonsai:

When pruning, we should not only control its upward trend, but also remove the branches and leaves eroded by pests and diseases to better shape it. So before pruning, make sure what you want to look like after pruning. In fact, the pruning of bonsai is also to show a person's aesthetic level. October and autumn are crisp. If friends who have pine bonsai at home do not prevent pruning, remember to prune the branches normally first, and then prune and beautify them.
