The most important thing in playing bonsai is to play with words. However, time does not wait for us. It takes ten years to achieve success. There are not many ten years in life. Sometimes we can quickly achieve the desired results through some technical means. For example, the elephant foot stake is obtained by the method of connecting. Elephant foot stake is a term I put forward, and maybe some great god once mentioned it, so let's say I think alike with great minds. The elephant foot pile, as the name implies, is in the shape of an elephant foot, very stout, and the root is slightly trumpet-shaped, and the root system extends around, which is a requirement of the old pile bonsai. Usually, if the elephant stake is cultivated from the seedlings, it will take a long time, tentatively set for 10 years. For some tree species, such as maple, elm, banyan, park tree, etc., these tree species with strong healing ability can be obtained quickly by relying on each other.

This is an example. Three four-year-old triangular maple, first find a good angle, the need to consider the root system and the trunk fit. After the mutual position of the three is determined, the bark of the bonding part is removed to expose the cambium, and then the cambium of the three are glued together with aluminum wire or tie, or the grafting belt is wrapped and fixed, and the place is sealed with sealing glue to avoid infection.

But this master still lacks a little bit when he does it. The height of the three piles used now is about the same. if one of them is left with a long section when cutting the pile, this section will then be used as the second grade, and in the process of cultivation, the best branch will be selected as the third grade, and when the elephant foot pile is formed, the secondary and tertiary transitions have been made at the same time, shortening the time by at least two or three years.

After bundling together and stocking for some time, the three piles were completely integrated. The state of this branch can be treated to make a broom head.

But he still chose to work alone. After looking at the picture below, is it like I said, he is still slowly cultivating second level, which will take at least two or three years. You can also see from the picture that the root disk is still very good. From the beginning to this state, it has been used for almost four years.

Personally, I think this method is very suitable to be a short bully.
