The master makes bonsai: the beauty process of a juniper cypress

Last Updated: 2024/12/22, I haven't told the story of Graham and his bonsai for a long time. I'm going to tell one today. Two days ago, I inadvertently found that this uncle was also a pile digger. When he had nothing to do, he went up the mountain to dig piles with his two little buddies.

I haven't told the story of Graham and his bonsai for a long time. I'm going to tell one today. Two days ago, I inadvertently found that this uncle was also an expert at digging piles. When he had nothing to do, he went up the mountain to dig piles with his two little buddies. If he could not finish digging, he would sell some. They dug up this juniper tree from France, and they have almost dug up the British stake. I said that these people are also very hard. I think that pile diggers in China are all active in the mountains near their homes, and those who go to work in neighboring villages are relatively rare. They are better. They have all dug piles out of the country.

This is an out-and-out downhill stake. To tell you the truth, it is rare for cypress stumps to grow like this. How can such slender branches withstand the ravages of wind and torrential rain on the mountain? maybe it is possible for it to live behind a big stone.

After 4 years of cultivation, the tree has luxuriant branches and leaves, but it feels a little top-heavy.

The bark on the trunk is gray due to the accumulation of dust and the oxidation of dead skin on the surface.

But as long as we simply scrub it, it will show its true color. This unique brown is a highlight of the cypress water absorption line.

As long as it is simply washed, the branches will become very beautiful.

After the bark has been treated, it is time to consider the dead wood. The tree is not very long, so its surface oxidation is not very good. If you carve it in the direction of wood fiber and make that feeling of cow hair grain, it will look even more ancient.

When the dead wood (sherry) of the trunk is disposed of, it is the turn of the dead wood (god).

As for the process of dealing with Shenzhi, I think the method of Graham should be included in the textbook. Tear first, burn in the fire, and then brush. People who have used it will know whether this process is effective or not.

Next comes the branch. Since it is top-heavy and light, it must be cut off and then styled. So the turning cypress tree turned into a classic chicken fir head.

By comparison, the effort is not in vain.
