Bonsai story: Jingcheng made a pine in ten years

The cultivation of a bonsai basically takes ten years. The European red pine was found in a stone crack in the Alps in 2006. It took nearly a day to dig it out of the stone. Because we should try to keep soil balls when digging pine stumps. Old pine trees like this can hardly survive when they go down the hill without soil balls, so they have higher requirements for digging piles.

After going down the mountain, he has been stocked in the basin. After six years, I finally began to shape it. Because the trunk of the tree is so beautiful that it doesn't need to be dealt with. So the secondary branches are properly bent to do some shrinkage as a whole.

Not long after taking the bend, the tree was chosen by a Spanish bonsai master and bought it at a high price.

A year later, we began to make plans for its final form. Because there are too many branches, some of the thicker branches are peeled to make dead wood. Do some more pruning of the branches, and then work out the basic outline.

The next job is to keep storing branches, pruning, picking buds, picking leaves and short needles. Finally, the following picture was made in 17 years, and Best of Show was obtained on the Bonsai San show of that year.
