The trade-off of the branches of boxwood bonsai

Buxus is a kind of potted plant with strong germination ability and pruning resistance. As a potted plant, it needs to do a good job of daily pruning, especially the selection of branches. We have a clear idea of which branches to keep, which to prune, and to what extent. Must not blindly pruning, otherwise it may backfire, bring the consequences of losing more than you gain. Today, Xiaobian will share with you the choice of boxwood bonsai branches.

Boxwood can be made into straight dry, inclined dry, curved dry and other shapes, and various shapes have their own merits, as long as the branches of the choice of more efforts, do just right, all styles of bonsai can reflect a very high ornamental value. The treatment of removing and retaining branches of boxwood is often realized by pruning means. In addition to achieving the shaping effect we need, it is also to stimulate the germination of boxwood trees, so that they can often extract tender branches and leaves, so that bonsai can always maintain a bright green state, more vigorous and more resistant to viewing.

Buxus tree germination ability is very strong, in the case of not weakening the tree potential, generally the more pruned, the more able to maintain growth vitality, will continue to sprout buds. Because of its rapid germination, and in order to avoid the rapid growth of branches and damage to the plant type, usually can be cut off at the tip of the branch 1-2 nodes, so as to promote the germination of more tender leaves. Of course, in the process of extracting branches, redundant branches, long branches, overlapping branches, weak branches and withered branches need to be cut off at any time, so as not to affect the beauty of plant type, consume nutrients in vain, weaken tree vigor and affect germination.

However, in the process of pruning Buxus bonsai, the principle of "retaining strong branches, cutting off weak branches, retaining main branches and pruning lateral branches" is generally adopted. Especially the redundant branches and leaves at the top and middle of the plant should be cut off, on the one hand, in order to improve ventilation and light transmission, on the other hand, it can promote the germination of more new branches and leaves, and moreover, it can increase the layering of bonsai, so that the layers are more distinct and the viewing effect is better. It is necessary to cut without hesitation, can be trimmed according to the shape needs of appropriate choice, unnecessary pruning to cut less. In short, we have to learn to judge ourselves, and then decide to stay and choose branches.

And if the use of boxwood down the hill stump bonsai, then the choice of branches should be more attention. As we all know, the ornamental value of boxwood old pile bonsai is extremely high, but in order to facilitate the creation of modeling processing, generally do not use the old pile with its own branches to achieve modeling, but often through grafting means to cultivate new branches, and then carry out the necessary modeling processing. The boxwood stump bonsai produced in this way can often reflect new ideas, whether it is ornamental value or artistic charm, often can reflect incisively and vividly. Therefore, the economic benefits of the final production of boxwood bonsai will also double. And for downhill piles, sawing off some branches can reduce the loss of water in the pile scene, thus accelerating the service basin of the old pile and improving the survival rate.

However, for ordinary boxwood bonsai trees, it is generally necessary to retain the main branches, only need to cut off or cut short part of the lateral branches can be. The choice of branches of boxwood bonsai generally needs to be decided according to what type of bonsai you want to create. At the same time, it is expected that removing these branches and retaining these branches will affect the overall viewing effect of bonsai. After all, it's easier to sawn off branches in the process of modeling bonsai trees, but it's harder to grow them. So, we have to think before we cut.
