Growth diary | have you ever seen such a small cypress bonsai?

▲, a miniature cypress material, was purchased in 2005. The trunk of the seedling has been bent, and the sherry on the trunk has been designed.

▲ grows vigorously, with luxuriant branches and luxuriant leaves, and the emerald green color is very gratifying.

▲ as a bonsai, this little cypress is obviously top-heavy. The trunk is slender, coupled with such a large crown width, giving people a very unstable feeling. So the next work is mainly to reduce the crown width by trade-off and to make the leaves more compact by forcing buds. The crown is lighter so that it can be coordinated with the trunk.

▲ first chooses to cut off redundant branches.

After ▲ prunes the branches and leaves, it allows the light to enter the inside, which helps to force the bud back.

Part of the close-up of ▲ Sherry. The production of the original Shili is very rough, just a simple peeling, and did not deal with the xylem, the sense of vicissitudes is insufficient.

▲ plucks the heart and pushes the bud. Strive to make the branches closer to the trunk.

▲ begins to deal with Shirley.

The texture torn by ▲ is more simple and natural.

The branches cut off by ▲ are made into divine branches. After the completion of the plastic surgery, the crown size has been greatly reduced.

▲ 2008, it has been three years since the last plastic surgery. Compared with three years ago, the branches and leaves are much more luxuriant.

▲ 2009.

▲ 2010.

▲ 2011.

▲ 2016, after daily trimming.

▲ 2017, on a whim, sparse branches and leaves and twisted old tree trunks are perfect for cliff style. And the cliff type can also weaken the disadvantage of no thickness transition in the trunk.

▲ took the root ball out of the basin and was careful not to let the earth ball spread.

▲ first prepare the pelvic floor leakage net and fixed aluminum wire. The installation direction of the fixed aluminum wire here is opposite to our usual direction, in order to make the soil surface more clean and beautiful. Because the basin is small, the aluminum wire bumps on the basin will be very annoying to the eye. With this method, it can be tightened and fixed at the bottom of the basin in order to be concise and beautiful.

▲ is looking for the right angle. Try to make a certain gap between the trunk and the edge of the basin. Reflect that the stump is suspended by its own strength, rather than with the help of the edge of the basin. In order to reflect the power of root stem.

The angle of ▲ is not very suitable. Like a middle-aged man always leaning against the pillar, giving people a feeling of listlessness.

▲ tightens the fixed aluminum wire from the bottom of the basin.

▲ fixed complete.

▲ noodles are relatively neat and beautiful.

▲ carefully fills the soil and lays the moss.

The final effect of ▲.

In the ▲ exhibition.

The ▲ tree itself has not changed, the planting angle is different, unexpectedly can produce such a big gap, have to let people sigh the delicacy of it!
