Answer: there are many kinds of bonsai trees suitable for picking leaves, including hammer elm, Finch plum, ginkgo, Chinese wolfberry, red maple, pomegranate, park tree, banyan tree, bauhinia and so on.

The main benefits of picking leaves from tree stumps are:

① can make the leaves smaller, which helps to show the artistic effect of miniature bonsai. For example, after the bauhinia leaves are removed, the germinated new leaves can be reduced to 1 / 5 of the size of the original leaves; banyan trees remove all the leaves and buds in early summer, and the new leaves can grow thick and small under the condition of sufficient moisture and sunshine.

② can make the stumps show charming colors several times a year. The new leaves of tree stumps often have unique colors, such as the green leaves of banyan and elm, the bright red and tender leaves of maple and pomegranate, and so on.

③ can stimulate the germination and growth of axillary buds, which is beneficial to the formation of branches.

④ can promote the flowering and fruiting of some tree species. For example, 4 or 5 days after picking leaves in early autumn, the twigs and flower bracts will grow at the same time, and the branches will be covered with red fruits in late autumn.

When picking leaves, tree stumps should pay attention to:

① should apply nitrogen fertilizer half a month before picking leaves to create favorable conditions for sprouting leaves.

② leaves to use scissors, remove leaves and leave part of the petiole, do not hurt axillary buds, so as not to affect sprouting.

Although ③ picking leaves has many advantages, it often has a negative impact on its growth because it is in the peak period of tree growth. Therefore, stump trees with strong growth should be chosen, while stumps with weak growth should not pick leaves. At the same time, the number of picking leaves should not be too much, such as elm and pomegranate can only be picked 2 or 3 times a year.
