Cliff-style bonsai taking advantage of the sky

Cliff type bonsai generally have semi-suspension type, full suspension type and inverted hanging type bonsai and so on.

The main results are as follows: (1) the whole semi-suspended bonsai tree is out of the basin, but the tree is not lower than the basin, or the trunk is horizontal, or the first branch is thicker and longer because the trunk is shorter.

(2) the whole tree of the full-suspended bonsai tree goes out of the basin and extends downwards and branches horizontally, as shown in the picture.

(3) the whole plant of the upside-down bonsai tree goes out of the basin, the exposed trunk hangs upside down vertically, and the branches are still horizontal.

The production of cliff-type bonsai is mainly in the selection of materials, the base of the trunk of the material has a certain bending Radian, the trunk or large branches can be homeopathic horizontal or drooping. In the past, high-dry flowerpots were commonly used to plant cliff-style bonsai to set off the momentum of trees falling from high to low. Now use half-height square basin or net basin planting, and then use several high frames to create cliff momentum.

In the modeling of cliff-style tree stump bonsai, it is generally reflected in the shaping of the top support instead of the bottom branch of the dry body, because in terms of its shape, it can make the shape of the tree more complete, so it is required that the curvature of the bottom line of the dry body changes clearly to prevent shade branches from appearing on the dry bottom. the tree potential is uneven. Pile scene various shapes require dry body to branch in all directions, only the cliff style as long as the dry body has branches on three sides. The treatment of the lower branch is obtained through the outward growth and curvature change of the front and back branches of the dry body, so that there is enough room for the growth of the branch support, and the shade branch phenomenon will not occur.

Cliff type bonsai is divided into big cliff type bonsai and small cliff type bonsai. Cliff bonsai is generally used in barrel basins. Large cliff bonsai (figure 2) the overhanging crown exceeds the basin bottom of the dry basin, while the crest of the small cliff bonsai does not exceed the basin bottom. The small cliff type bonsai is generally no lower than the dry tube basin 3cm 4. When making, the length from the base of the root to the first side branch of the tree species is not less than 25cm, the cross is cut longitudinally and horizontally, and wrapped with adhesive tape, 45 is made of thick iron wire. Wrap it around. Fix it so that it bends and droops. The head of the tree can also be slightly warped, and the side branches should change according to the change of the drooping main hand. The selection of materials should have lateral roots, and the trunk should be orderly and elegant.

In order to make the cliff-style bonsai peculiar shape and achieve the overall beauty, we should pay attention to the following points [Yoshima Hua Yao] when making.

The main results are as follows: (1) the base of the cliff-type tree stump bonsai is generally vertical, tilting from the middle and lower part to one side, the trunk downward, and the adjacent tip swirling upward, showing the trend of Qiu long inverted, giving people a sense of vitality.

(2) the cliff-type tree stump bonsai emphasizes the lifting of roots. Lifting root can not only show its old tree state, but also alleviate the momentum of bonsai, resulting in visual balance. If only rely on the root modeling, can not meet the balance requirements of bonsai, you can use point stone to achieve the goal.

(3) the basin of cliff-type tree stump bonsai should be used in medium-deep basin, and should be placed on several shelves with high feet, so as to show the elegance of pile scenery.

The main tree species for making cliff-style bonsai are: five-needle pine, black pine, Jiuli incense, hammer elm, sparrow plum, small leaf boxwood and so on.
