The method of making Cherry Blossom Bonsai

With bright colors and luxuriant branches and leaves, cherry blossoms are an important ornamental tree species in early spring and are often used in gardens. Group planting can also be planted on hillsides, courtyards, roadsides and in front of buildings. When it is in full bloom, the flowers are colorful, the trees are in full bloom, such as clouds and clouds, it is very spectacular. Can be planted in large areas to create a "sea of flowers" landscape, can be embellished in the green space to form a brocade, can also be planted alone, forming a "red in the green" painting meaning. Cherry blossoms can also be used as path trees, hedges or bonsai.

There are two quick ways to make it:

(1) go directly to the pot to enjoy the cherry blossoms which are compact and graceful in shape in the nursery, and enjoy them directly in the pot. For example, 'dwarf branch drooping', the branches naturally droop, the tree shape is beautiful and peculiar, after a little trimming on the basin, you can watch it; 'Imperial car return', 'Pine Moon' and so on, the tree shape is compact, the pattern is beautiful, the design and color is beautiful, and you can also enjoy it directly on the basin.

(2) there are three sources of cherry blossom trees for transforming cherry blossoms into bonsai.

Most of the weak cherry trees in the ① garden are in the shape of a clumsy blossom, which is the best in the production of cherry bonsai.

② is not suitable for cherry blossom trees in the garden because of its poor shape.

We can also use the cherry blossom trees whose ③ trunk is dead but the root neck is still alive to make cherry bonsai. We adopt the method of high connecting and changing head to carry on the transformation. The cherry blossom tree can be reshaped and then changed, which is generally carried out by the combination of pruning and binding. The high grafting of cherry blossoms is generally carried out before the sprouting of cherry blossoms in early spring (Wuhan is usually in mid-late March), and the specific time is based on the phenology of that year. The scion can also be cut off first and refrigerated in the refrigerator, and then grafted when the rootstock germinates, and the survival rate is also very high. When the cherry blossom uses the cutting method to change the head, the technical essentials that should be paid attention to are as follows:

a. Cutting of scions and rootstocks. Cut a long slope at the lower bud 1cm of the scion, about 2-3cm, and cut a short side on the opposite side of the long side, within the length of 1cm. Cut the scion into small segments with 2-4 buds and 5-6cm length. The branches similar to the scion thickness were selected as the rootstock on the cherry tree to be reformed. the short section of the rootstock was cut flat, the left hand held the rootstock, and the right hand was cut directly at the edge of the xylem of the rootstock (the section of the rootstock was 1: 4). The length and width of the cut correspond to the long side of the scion.

b. insert. Insert the scion length obliquely toward the rootstock, align the cambium on one side, and wrap the cortex of the rootstock incision around the scion.

c. Tie it up. Use a plastic film strip with a width of about 1cm (so that it has a certain degree of elasticity) to be bound, and the film strip must be tightened when binding.

d. Cover bag. After grafting, cover the root of the grafted seedling with a white transparent small plastic bag, and tie the mouth with packing rope, which can play the role of moisturizing. The size of a small plastic bag is about 12cm × 8cm. We can graft cherry blossoms with similar florescence on a pot of cherry blossoms to produce ten kinds of cherry blossoms with two flowers in one pot and more than one in one pot.
