How to complete the falling branches in bonsai modeling

In bonsai modeling, we sometimes see a branch method, that is, "falling branches". Falling branches are often used for piles with high feet and empty lower parts, which can play a role in "turning decay into magic". Falling branch technology, in bonsai modeling is easy not to use. Because this branch method changes the law of plant growth, it takes time to make, and it often takes more than ten years to complete it.

In nature, falling branches are often broken by strong winds, or by heavy snow, or by people and animals. The so-called "falling branch" means that the branch suddenly twists and turns downward, changes strongly and clearly, and often gives people a sense of unexpected impact. According to the change of the curvature of the dry branch, there are often two kinds of falling branches. As shown in the picture

The main results are as follows: 1, the base of the receptacle bends down to grow a soft arc, and the shape of this kind of falling branches is relatively simple, using flat binding, pulling, and gradually making the branches droop. The base of the branch receptacle forms a soft arc and the transition is round. But the lack of ups and downs charm, there is no strong contrast, this kind of branches are also summarized in the drooping branches.

2, hard angle short span falling branch.

The base of the branch falls into a hard angle and a short span, such as suddenly breaking and drooping, falling and not falling. In particular, a section of the falling branch is hard and straight, slightly twists and turns, the branch line changes strongly and clearly, and the impact is strong. This kind of falling branch modeling is difficult and takes a long time, but the effect is obvious, and it often gives people a strong shock.

In order to cultivate a falling branch, we must first determine the position and height of the falling branch. Then through the method of cutting, cultivate the sprouts. As shown in the picture

The main results are as follows: (1) the lower bud left by the initial cutting grows downward, and the angle of the secondary branch is acute, and the change is obvious. The support is abrupt and steep.

The second part is the third section, which is the transition between 1 and 3. The second section is cut short and then sprouted and then the bud is cultivated, the branch line shrinks back, accumulates strength, shrinks first and then releases.

The third part is the fourth branch of the falling branch. It is cultivated by sprouting left buds after short cutting of the third branch. At this time, the branch line pops up in a straight line with a long span, which forms a strong contrast with the first and second branch lines.

(4) the part is a short-span sharp curve. It is cultivated by the method of short shearing, and the change of branch line is obtained.

5 the branches and lines go to the left, the trend goes up, and the strength rebounds.

In the process of falling branch cultivation, the top dominance of tree stump should be restrained. Parcel trimming the top of the tree, upside down stumps, etc.

▲ (frame upside down, making use of apical dominance) scaffolding inversion is used to change the apical dominance of the plant when the buds germinated by short shears begin to germinate. To strengthen the management of water and fertilizer and strengthen the tree potential is like making a cliff, turning the downward growth of branches into upward growth and cultivating falling branches.
