Preliminary shaping of tree stump bonsai

Tree stump bonsai often adopts different modeling techniques due to different tree species, and the effect of bonsai produced is also very different. Although the modeling techniques are different, the bonsai produced by the tree stump will have their own advantages due to their different shapes. However, before making the stump bonsai, we first need to dig up the stump bonsai, and then raise the embryo and cultivate it in time after simple treatment. Generally speaking, it can be scientifically trimmed in autumn to take a preliminary shape. Next, the editor will share with you the preliminary shaping process of tree stump bonsai.

Making tree stump bonsai, modeling is a more time-consuming and energy-consuming work, but also the process of testing the creator's mastery of bonsai techniques. Plastic surgery is to make the stump bonsai have a rough prototype of modeling effect, so that it is beginning to take shape, is the initial stage of the modeling process. Generally speaking, the branches and leaves are roughly treated and the stump is initially modeled. Among them, pruning and retaining branches, wiping buds and picking leaves, and preliminary modeling are the most important environments.

1. Pruning and retaining branches

After the stump is dug up and planted and survived, we need to wait for an opportunity to reshape it as a whole. Mainly according to the natural form of the stump, the creator's design ideas and the needs of processing and creation, we should keep the strong branches conducive to modeling where the stump branches are suitable, at the same time, cut off the dry and withered branches, disease and insect branches, long branches and other branches that are not conducive to modeling or redundancy, so as to prevent these useless branches from wasting nutrients. If necessary, some of the thicker branches can even be truncated.

Before pruning and retaining branches, we need to determine the development and growth direction of new branches, and cut off the excess branches and buds in time. Pay attention to the treatment of branches in the process of branch modeling, generally need to avoid the use of upright branches, so it is necessary to determine the remaining branches, which is usually more suitable to retain the concave and convex branches on the trunk, but to avoid the symmetrical remaining branches on both sides of the trunk, and the thickness and density of the retained branches need to be considered.

Second, wiping buds and picking leaves

Wiping buds and picking leaves is an important means to use in the process of tree modeling and maintaining good plant type. it is original but generally used in tree species with strong germination ability. Especially in the growing season, the stump will sprout and draw leaves in large quantities under the condition of sufficient water and fertilizer. if it is not removed in time, it will not only weaken the tree potential due to the consumption of a lot of nutrients, but also change the plant type. In the plastic surgery stage, we need to wipe off the terminal buds on the branches in time and remove all the leaves. This can not only save nutrients and avoid disrupting plant types, but also stimulate trees, promote the germination of axillary and lateral buds, and draw out the branches we need.

At the same time, we also need to cut off the branches and leaves that cover the dry branches to improve the ventilation and light transmittance and make the dry branches stand out. Of course, the branches and leaves that are too dense need to be thinned to improve the rationality of the spatial layout. Be careful to reserve enough remaining space for later branch stretching.

III. Preliminary styling

In addition to the above two aspects of processing, we also need to carry on the preliminary modeling processing to the bonsai tree. Mainly the use of new flexible side branches, by means of hanging, hook, pull and other ways, according to the creator's ideas, design ideas to carry out modeling treatment according to the situation. However, in this case, the modeling treatment is generally suitable to be carried out in the evening, because the toughness of the branches in the evening is better, and it is not easy to break the branches in the modeling process.

The preliminary modeling treatment of tree stump bonsai is generally carried out by means of heavy cutting. But it also needs to be treated according to the material, so that the skeleton of the pile scene should be arranged in accordance with the law of bonsai art, which reflects the effect of symmetrical coordination and beautiful branches as a whole. And if there are tree species for making open-root bonsai, it can be combined with turning the basin to carry out root lifting treatment.
