What is the pruning method of Nanyang fir?

Cunninghamia lanceolata is a kind of tree native to the southeast coastal area of Oceania, which is now planted in Guangdong, Fujian, Guangxi and other areas of our country. The following is to introduce the pruning methods of Cunninghamia lanceolata, which can be understood by friends who plant at home.

First, what is the pruning method of Nanyang fir?

The pruning of Cunninghamia lanceolata should be determined according to the desired shape. Such as:

1. Oblique dry type

When the trunk grows to 3-5 cm thick, the tree should be cut short and planted in a pot according to the growth of the root, tilting appropriately to the left or right. One month later, 1-4 new buds grew from the axils of the branches and formed new shoots. After the new branch unfolds, a dense canopy is formed obliquely.

two。 Curved dry type

When the trunk is 1-2 cm thick, it is clambered with wire and twisted to form a curved trunk. After six months or a year of growth, when the wire begins to sink into the bark, the thread is loosened. Those who meet the curvature requirements and stereotyped do not need to climb, if do not meet the curvature requirements, unstereotyped, re-climb the trunk to continue modeling. The bending height of the trunk is generally between 30 and 45 cm. The trunk is cut off when it is 3-5 cm thick. When making medium-sized curved trunk or canopy umbrella-shaped bonsai to make large bonsai, the trunk can be cultivated to 5-8 cm thick and cut dry.

3. Cliff type

The 2 cm thick trunk is wound with thicker metal wire and twisted according to the requirements of the cliff type, so that the trunk bends down to the outer edge of the basin.

4. Disk root type

The small seedlings of Cunninghamia lanceolata in the international basin grew gradually through the cultivation of pine, and the roots also grew and circled along the edge of the basin. The cymbal and the root hug each other to form a globular root, and then the root is planted and ornamental.

5. Stone-attached type

When the trunk grows to 2 cm thick, truncate the trunk and remove the basin soil to form bare roots. Carefully wrap the meat custard around the shaped stone. Stones can be made of sand stone, seaweed stone, asparagus stone, Yingde stone, stalagmite and so on. After the thin root is attached to the stone, the plastic tape is used to tie the root stone so that the root is attached to the stone to grow. After 2-3 years or more of cultivation, the roots cling to the stone to form a stone-attached type.

If you have no experience in pruning Nanyang fir, and you don't need styling, you don't have to prune it. Or directly buy the Nanyang fir potted plants that have already been modeled.
