The trend of branches of Lingnan bonsai

Lingnan bonsai has always paid attention to branch support ability and its trend, whether it is good enough or not depends on whether your branch support can be cut off and store branches, which is certain and beyond reproach. The trend of the branch support is directly related to the layout and inherits from each other. Truncation is relatively speaking, either truncation of the trunk or truncation, but truncation of the trunk on the main support is also truncation (the requirements of trees on the tree), repeated truncation to achieve the purpose of branch storage, of course, it can not be separated from the overall layout requirements. Otherwise, let it grow in vain and focus on Bangza modeling, there will soon be aging branches and foot loss. Focusing on Bangza, it will hurt the cortical bud position, especially the pine tree, which will never sprout. (note: it is a defect, but it is not an inevitable result. )

And if the cloud flake requirements, do not enter this example, it does not need to grow branches, its shape for its composition. Without growing branches, the antibody is strong, and it is difficult to preserve the type. Please take a look at the cut stem and branch in the picture below. You are welcome to comment.

As we all know, the artistic modeling of Lingnan bonsai is based on the method of truncation and branch accumulation, without the use of flat composition. It is related to the warm, humid climate, abundant rainfall and fast plant growth in the south. The method of cutting stems and storing branches has become a unique method of bonsai art modeling and has been widely accepted by bonsai lovers all over the world.

1. Old-fashioned modeling techniques

This shape is Lingnan bonsai has always been used to this day, the positive type of the lattice, high-level double dry natural tree type. It is not that it is not good, but it is too common, lack of style innovation, used to see, but not very impressive, as shown in the following picture:

2. Improper treatment of truncation and branch storage.

Truncation and branch storage is the basic rule of Lingnan bonsai modeling, why is it handled improperly? We should start with the understanding of "cutting dry" and "growing branches". Cut off the trunk, that is, do not let the trunk grow, so that high and short, long and short, in line with the proportion requirements. To store branches and "store" means to save, and it is not the main purpose of breaking and cutting, but to repeatedly break off the truncated support, so that the sap and nutrition of a certain part of the branch support are blocked, and the tissue cortex accumulates and expands, so as to achieve the purpose of "storing branches". It is required according to the proportion of the trunk. What is said here is inappropriate, which goes too far, leading to an imbalance of proportions. The branches are too large, bloated, and lose the sense of elegance and eye-catching. Cantonese people call them "fat twigs", as shown in the following picture:

3. Application analysis of truncation and branch storage method.

The weather is cold in the north, the plants grow slowly, the south is humid and warm, and the growth rate is fast. Even in the same Lingnan region, the plant species are different, and the growth speed is also different. The growth rate of branch receptacle varies greatly with the size of stump embryo wood.

1) "Panyun" is a small and medium-sized bonsai, high double-trunk natural big tree type, red fruit is an imported South American tree species, planted in Lingnan, coarse growth and fast growth. Because the embryo material of the trunk is small, it is easy to cultivate the branch support by cutting and storing branches, but it is not easy to grasp it too much, resulting in the branch grasp is too large and the proportion is out of proportion.

2) controlling the branch receptacle to grow too fast, especially the topping is the most likely to be bloated and enlarged, because the growth point at the top of the plant grows at the fastest speed, as shown in the following picture, the bloated branch receptacle has been reduced to the requirement of proportion and looks more elegant.

3) from the perspective of the overall structure, the main problem lies in the ratio of trunk to branch support, which affects the artistic effect of the tree phase. The following picture is an ideal revised sample manuscript, more chic and elegant.
