Last Updated: 2024/11/05, Hippophae rhamnoides are also known as "torch fruit", "flame tree" and "rescue food". Wild in Yunnan, Guizhou, Sichuan area can be said to be full of mountains, someone dug up potted plants a long time ago to make bonsai for viewing. It can also be seen at the border between northern Guangdong and Hunan and Jiangxi. After three or five years of raising seedlings in a large area, there will be a middle and upper billet with an encircling diameter of 20 or 30 centimeters, which is rich in resources, which is actually a good thing for closing mountains to cultivate forests and protect the environment. The seedling billet can be made into a variety of bonsai at will. Although it is not as interesting as the wild billet, its elegant demeanor is different.

After three or five years of raising seedlings in a large area, there will be a middle and upper billet with an encircling diameter of 20 or 30 centimeters, which is rich in resources, which is actually a good thing for closing mountains to cultivate forests and protect the environment.

The seedling billet can be made into a variety of bonsai at will. Although not as wild as the wild billet, its elegant demeanor has a different charm. In addition to making the tree type, towering type, cliff type, especially made into the root type, forest type, stone-attached type, water-drought type and so on are very ideal, the forest appearance is beautiful and attractive, it can be described as colorful. In particular, all kinds of Lin Jinghong fruit are pressed all over the branches and strung together, just like a fire dragon. In particular, the festival should cater to the strong festive atmosphere of Christmas, New Year's Day and Spring Festival. Ye Cuiguo red, leading the way, remained red for a long time until February or March of the following year. No wonder in recent years, many bonsai lovers have been attracted to pursue the production of firethorn bonsai.

Firethorn can be divided into red fruit and yellow fruit. The four seasons are evergreen and white flowers. Pyracantha with red fruit is more popular.

Red fruit firethorn can be called Lingnan bonsai new season, which has the advantages of fast growth, high density of bud eyes, strong sprouting power, excellent callus performance, good softness of branches, small and bright leaves, resistance to pruning and easy modeling. It is the best variety for ornamental branches, leaves, flowers and fruits.

After a certain period of trial, observation and exchange of experience with some colleagues, the author thinks that the cause of the death of Hippophae rhamnoides lies in the temporary negligence in planting management, or water stains, or mistakenly injured roots, or improper cutting, resulting in diseases, and then infection leads to rotten roots and black bark and withered branches, if not remedied in time, it will lead to the death of the whole plant. The culprit is root rot. It is characterized by a soil-borne disease caused by Fusarium oxysporum. Due to dampness and lack of sunlight, Fusarium oxysporum fungi are active. Once they invade the cortex of the rhizome, watery brown spots appear in the roots. After the stem soft rot, the wood slowly turns black, the bark turns gray, and then spreads to the trunk. The whole cortex is necrotic, hinders the transport of nutrition and water, branches and leaves lose water, physiological functions are destroyed, and finally the plant dies. The whole tree can be washed with 0.1% potassium permanganate solution, or sprayed with 1000 times topiramate, and good results can be obtained. In addition, we should also pay attention to the pests that harm Pyracantha, such as military insects, bugs, and so on. It is easy to happen in spring and autumn. Only 40% omethoate and 1000 times water solution can be killed.

All fruit tree bonsai basically have one thing in common, especially to make firethorn bonsai red, big and many, in addition to the prevention and control of diseases and insect pests, is the timely and reasonable application of fertilizer and water. If the water is not dry or watered, it must be fully watered, and the water will not be watered. Fertilizer should be applied thinly, once every ten days or so, and retting cake fertilizer should be applied frequently during the fruit expansion period in autumn. Because Hippophae rhamnoides is a strong sunny plant, sunshine for more than 8 hours, to achieve these kungfu, not afraid of your firethorn bonsai hanging fruit gilding fiery red, eye-catching.

At this point, I borrowed the poem "Bonsai Poems of Firethorn" written by someone: "Firethorn in the basin goes into Dongang, shaking the spirit to resist snow frost." There are ten thousand points of new fruit in the painting hall, which are all the food for the rescue of the soldiers of that year. "
