Characteristics, production and maintenance methods of bonsai of fruit trees

Bonsai fruit trees often have a different ornamental effect than ordinary bonsai, they are a bit more vitality and vitality than ordinary bonsai, rather than so solemn and mature.

Characteristics of bonsai of fruit trees

Bonsai of fruit trees should not only have plastic arts such as root, pile, shape and spirit, but also have a sufficient number of fruits. The number, layout, size and color of fruits are an important part of bonsai art of small fruit trees. only by closely combining the two, can the roots, stems, branches, leaves, flowers, fruits and types form an ornamental whole and make the spring flowers exquisite and graceful; autumn fruits are numerous and colorful; winter branches and bones are thinned and vigorous. And summer coincides with the period of fruit development and luxuriant foliage, and the green branches and fruits change their new appearance in ten days, which is full of interest in life and the flavor of nature.

Bonsai of small fruit trees should not only study the shape, but also pay attention to the cultivation of flowers and fruits, while the cultivation of flowers and fruits requires branches with certain growth potential, a certain number of leaves, as well as adequate nutrition supply. In addition, the flowers and fruits of some fruit trees, such as apples, pears, persimmons and Hawthorns, are just at the top of the branches. All these determine that the bonsai of small fruit trees can not prune the branches and leaves at will like the general bonsai, and its own law determines that a rough and natural style must be shaped in modeling and pruning.

Production and maintenance of bonsai of fruit trees

Configuration of basin soil: generally take 4 parts of ripe pastoral soil, 2 parts of river sand, 1 part of plant ash, mix well and then grind and sieve. The basin soil should be disinfected before use, and a small amount of sulfur powder should be mixed evenly. When changing the soil each time, the suitable pot can be replaced according to the growth range of the fruit tree, the size of the root ball and the need for modeling.

Pour basin: because the nutrients in the basin soil will be absorbed by fruit trees or leached by frequent watering, it is necessary to pour the basin in time every two or three years to replace new nutrient soil. After the old soil mass is buckled out of the basin, the old root on the surface of the soil mass and the big root that affects its shape should be cut off. When putting on the basin, you should first mix organic fertilizer and nutritious soil to fill the bottom, then bring the soil mass to the basin, and fill it with basin soil mixed with fertilizer. The pH value of basin soil is generally between 4.5 and 7.5. According to the requirements of different tree species, different nutrient soils rich in organic matter should be allocated, preferably sandy loam rich in humus.

Moisture: the water content of the basin soil, which is most suitable for root growth, is about 60% of the maximum soil water holding capacity. 80%. The drought resistance of roots is much lower than that of leaves. Under drought conditions, leaves get a lot of water from the roots, resulting in root damage and even death. Due to the limitation of basin soil capacity and large loss area, the loss rate of water in basin is 5 times higher than that of topsoil in field orchard. Negligence in management can easily lead to water loss. The smaller the basin, the larger the crown, the higher the temperature, the sunnier and drier the climate, especially in the hot and dry wind season, the faster the rate of water loss, the more attention should be paid to replenishing water to the basin in time.

Aeration: the physical structure of basin soil is composed of soil particles and pores, small capillary pores are occupied by water, and large non-capillary pores are occupied by empty. The respiration, growth and other physiological activities of fruit tree roots require adequate oxygen supply in the basin soil. Under the condition of hypoxia in the basin soil, the normal respiration and physiological activities of fruit trees were blocked, and the growth stopped. At the same time, the accumulation of carbon dioxide and other harmful gases caused root poisoning, resulting in root death. The most suitable soil composition for the growth of fruit trees is that soil pores account for about 50% of the total bulk density of the soil, and the water and air in the pores account for about half.

Pruning: when there are too many bonsai branches of fruit trees, it is easy to cause scattered nutrients, insufficient internal light, poor fruit quality and so on. Therefore, before the sprouting of fruit trees in spring, cross branches, overlapping branches, disease and insect branches and long branches should be cut off, which is basically consistent with the pruning of other orchid gardens, which is called basic pruning. In the summer fruit growth period, by coring, sprouting, cutting and other means to control the tree shape, and to prevent the formation of apical dominance, to promote the growth and expansion of fruit. In autumn, in order to improve the ornamental effect of bonsai of fruit trees, we should give priority to shaping, cut off the branches that affect the ornamental effect, and remove the leaves that cover the fruit.

Put fruit tree bonsai in the study, bedroom, office desk is a very good choice, it can not only make people pleasing to the eye, but also effectively enhance the fengshui of the bedroom.
