1. Cypress

Cypress bonsai can be called the king of bonsai, among which the real cypress is the most valuable. The cypress is as famous as the pine, and it is said that the pine and cypress are evergreen. The aesthetic characteristics of the cypress are almost the same as those of the pine, but there are also differences. Apart from being ancient, emerald, strong and peculiar, there is also its tenacity. The bark texture of the cypress rotates like a strand, and the branches are not easy to break. Because the vitality of the cypress is stronger than that of the pine, if the cypress is struck by lightning in the forest, the trunk will not die as long as there is about an inch of bark. Even if the branch is broken and dry. Therefore, bonsai players like to use cypress trees to make sherry dry, in order to show the meaning of dead wood. The "sherry dry" in Japanese potted plants mostly uses this characteristic of cypress.
