First, thinning and cutting

1. Cut off the branches from the base.

2. when thinning, the first thing is to cut off the branches of diseases and insect pests and burn them immediately to prevent the spread of diseases and insect pests.

3. Secondly, the branches that hinder beauty should be cut off in time.

4. in general, one of the two parallel branches which are very close to each other should be cut off, and one of the overlapping branches and opposite branches should be cut off.

5. Only one whorl branch is retained and the rest are cut off.

6. The upright branches, drooping branches and reverse branches from the main branch should be cut off. The branches and cross branches should be cut off one branch, and the germinated twigs on the tree species with strong sprouting power should be cut off as soon as possible, except for a branch left in the missing part to slowly induce supplementary branches, so as not to consume nutrients and affect the tree potential.

7. The thinning and cutting of branches in the pile scene should also obey the requirements of artistic modeling. All the extra branches that do not meet the modeling requirements should be cut off.

2. Short scissors

1. The long branch is about to be cut short.

2. In plastic surgery, after thinning and pruning the excess branches, it is necessary to cut short the remaining modeling branches to promote the sprouting of the styling branches 2 or 3 times a year.

3. If a bud is sent for a short cut, the branch grade of the molded branch will be rapidly increased, and the branch order of each grade will be shortened without lengthening the branch.

4. Therefore, short shearing is an effective measure to control the growth and keep dwarfism of bonsai stumps, and it is also an important means for stumps to take shape as soon as possible.

Third, shrinking scissors

2. For the stump plants with large crown and long main branches, the short and thinning pruning of annual branches alone can not meet the requirements of stump modeling.

3. By shearing, the big tree can be made smaller, which is beneficial to the modeling of pile scene.

4. For some tree species with strong sprouting power, the amount of shearing can be larger, that is, trimming the branches and leaves, leaving only the skeleton of the stump to stimulate the germination of new branches under the shearing mouth.
