In addition to the commonly used methods of banding, pruning, picking leaves and picking buds, there are also some alternative modeling techniques for tree stump bonsai, mainly as follows:

Pry the skin. Even in the peak growing season, use a sharp knife to pierce into the cambium of the trunk cortex, and then pry a few times to temporarily separate the bark from the xylem, or insert stones of appropriate size into the bark pried open, and then wrap it with hemp or brown bark. After the wound heals, the trunk expands locally, showing a dragon bell state.

Tearing. That is, the branches that need to be thinned are torn off with hands instead of scissors, together with bark and part of the xylem, so that the trees expose a wooden groove. After the wound heals, it seems to be formed naturally, giving people the feeling of quaint, old and disabled.

Stick bending. Is to the appropriate thickness of wooden sticks, bamboo poles, iron bars, hard plastic pipes, iron pipes and other sticks as the support, according to the modeling design, the trunk of the young tree is wound on the support to make it bend and take shape. According to the shape and bending degree of the trunk required by the styling design, one, two or even three sticks can be skillfully combined. Due to the fast heat transfer of the iron pipe, it is disadvantageous to the growth of the tree trunk, so it can be insulated by winding cloth sheet, hemp skin and other things on the surface of the iron pipe. The trees bent by this method are all 2-3-year-old young trees, and trees with long teeth and hard trunk should not be used. After bending, tie it firmly with a rope, and trim the leaves during maintenance. After 1 or 2 years of binding, the stick was removed and slightly processed to become a naturally curved and graceful bonsai stump.

Pimple method. Using this method of modeling, young trees with soft branches are generally selected to tie a knot or nest in a 360-degree circle where the trunk is not unearthed, and after several years of cultivation (simultaneously lifting roots), pruning and processing, it can become a beautiful and unique stump bonsai. Yang Pai often uses plum saplings to make bumpy plum stump bonsai.

Peeling. Is in the stump bonsai viewing surface, the middle and lower part of the trunk, vertical, irregular shape to remove a piece of bark, revealing xylem, when the wound healed and scarred, the trunk will look old and beautiful.

Dissection drying method. It is in the ornamental surface of the tree, the middle and lower part of the tree trunk, first remove a piece of bark, and then use a sharp knife or small chisel to remove the xylem 1big 3 or so. After scarring, the concave xylem is exposed to show the ancient peculiarity of the stump bonsai. However, the trunk should not be cut too deep, and the deepest should not exceed 1x2 of the trunk diameter, nor should it be too much. Generally, a tree should be cut into two places, otherwise it will affect the growth of the tree and be suspected of being riddled with holes.

The method of folding branches. The main results are as follows: (1) the method of breaking branches and leaving marks. It is in the part where a thousand branches of the tree are about to be broken, first saw a ditch with a saw, which is about half the diameter of the branch, and then tear off the skin and xylem together. After the wound heals, it looks like a natural growth and beautiful shape. (2) break and continue to do so. That is, the branch to be broken is first wound with wire, and then half of the branch is broken (broken but not broken, and the branch is still alive). The angle and position of the broken branches are determined according to the needs of the modeling. Generally speaking, only one or two branches of a tree are broken, and the curve of the broken branches is straight and vigorous.

The method of cutting the bark vertically. Some tree trunks are smooth and unaged, and they can be cut vertically in spring, reaching to the xylem. When the wound heals, the bark becomes rough and old.

Split dry. Is to split the trunk vertically. According to the different modeling requirements, there are two methods of operation: one is to divide the root and trunk into two, but the crown is not separated, that is to say, it is still a tree; the other is to divide the root, trunk and crown into two plants, carefully preserved, you can make two pieces of stump bonsai.

The splitting method should choose tree species with strong vitality, such as pomegranate, bauhinia and so on, before the trees sprout in spring.
