How to make the bonsai of tree stump show a sense of aging

Tree stump bonsai has a unique performance effect, generally the older the pile scenery, the more mottled it looks, the more it can reflect the sense of vicissitudes. And let the stump show an ancient state, often reflect the stump bonsai value and charm of one of the important features. Therefore, we make tree stump bonsai, especially need to let it reflect the old, simple image. In addition to using the old piles which were originally relatively ancient, the raw piles can also be processed and treated to reflect the sense of aging. So, how to make the stump bonsai show a sense of aging?

The stump bonsai should be shown in an ancient image, focusing on the creation of bark and roots, mainly for the processing and processing of artificially bred trees. By means of artificial intervention on the stump bonsai, the relatively short-aged seedlings can show more charm and vicissitudes of life, and the ornamental value and artistic charm of bonsai can be further improved.

First, bark building

For the stump bonsai, the bark is the most intuitive part of the aging. Generally, by observing the bark, people can judge the approximate age of the tree according to the intuitive feeling, and can judge whether the protagonist of this stump bonsai work is old or not. So, in order to make the stump bonsai look old, we first need to make the bark look old. To make the bark old, it can usually be achieved by artificial bark.

1. Remove branches and peel.

Break off the branches on both sides of the trunk, do not use tools such as scissors and saws, just break it off with your bare hands. And when you break a branch, you can even rip it off together with the erection on the trunk to expose the woody part of the trunk, and after the wound heals, you will gradually show a sense of aging.

2. Pine bark of trees

In the peak growing season of the stump bonsai, pierce the bark with a sharp knife and pry it around to loosen the local bark and separate the bark from the woody part. The tree will protrude the tumor in the wound due to the stimulation of external force, and when the wound heals, the tree will look old.

3. Hammering the tree trunk

Hitting the trunk with a heavy hammer can also stimulate the cortical tissue of the tree, which can also stimulate the cortical tissue of the tree by hitting the trunk with a heavy hammer, thus accelerating the division of the tissue and gradually protruding the tumor, which can be shown as an old image over a long time.

Second, carving the root.

For the stump bonsai, the treatment of lifting roots and exposing claws on the roots is also an important means for trees to show a sense of aging, especially suitable for root bonsai. The method of lifting roots and showing claws is usually suitable for tree species with tenacious vitality and strong lateral roots. In the process of operation, the main root can be cut off first, and then the stump can be implanted into a large and deep flowerpot for cultivation, mainly to promote the development and growth of lateral branches and take root deeply, so that they can grasp the ground firmly. Then wait until the trunk part is formed and then transplant to the ornamental basin. At this time, you can take the opportunity to make the effect of exposing roots and hanging roots.

Of course, another way is to embed stone in the root, or directly make it into a stone-attached bonsai, as long as it does not affect the normal absorption capacity of the root system. However, at the initial stage of claw exposure, the root should be surrounded by wet moss or wet sand, and the moss or sand should be removed after the stump survives and grows steadily. This can also achieve the effect of getting old at the root.
