Artificial aging and antiquity technology of bonsai tree stump

As we all know, it often takes several years and decades to create a highly artistic bonsai with stumps. How can we create bonsai with good shape and spirit in a relatively short period of time?. Practice has proved that this goal can be achieved through the treatment of artificial aging and ancient technology. The technical measures are as follows:

1. Every winter and early spring, we can choose suitable plant materials for bonsai in barren mountain ridge, cliff head tuyere, cliff and other places. Because of the poor growth conditions in these places, the trees are so low and deformed. It is easy to form strange old piles with low branches and graceful posture, and it is easy to transplant and survive.

2. Pruning and crown maintenance is an indispensable measure for pile scene selection. The method of operation is as follows: when the first section of the branch trunk is cultivated to a certain thickness, it will be cut short to produce oblique or transverse branches, and the weight of pruning will be determined according to the growth characteristics of the tree. After that, the second section, the third section and so on are cultivated in turn. Through continuous pruning, the crown can meet the needs of stump shape.

3. Tie the branches of the stump with iron wire and other materials to make it grow according to the required bending posture. After the growth direction is fixed, the disk should be removed, and the plate binding should be carried out in a suitable season, otherwise, it is easy to break the branches.

4. when the bark plant is growing vigorously, a sharp knife is inserted under the bark in a certain part of the trunk, and the tough bark is pried gently, so that the bark and xylem are separated slowly, so that tumor scars can be formed on the branches and look like ancient mountain trunks.

5. Dig dry and drill some small holes with a knife chisel and wooden drill on the main viewing surface, and then fill in some wet soil, so that the small hole will gradually become a large hole, which can form a natural singularity of thousands of scars and hundreds of holes.

6. Tear the trunk or branch that needs to be removed from the trunk, cut it off without scissors, and tear it off from its base by hand, or gently climb and take it off, so as to produce natural splitting scars on the retained trunk. Rich to be attacked by the wind and frost. After the plant returns to normal growth, apply a little hydrochloric acid to the scar, the stump will be more old and natural. In addition, in order to make the trunk old and strange, you can also use a knife to carve strip trenches in the trunk. After a period of growth, withered branches will be produced on the trunk and the form of natural bark. Take the methods of splitting, twisting and peeling to make the trunk produce scars and make its shape simple and simple, with the shape of vicissitudes.
