The bonsai made not only has the vigorous effect of bearded old pine, but also has the elegant image of landscape bonsai, tall and straight and majestic, there is no lack of softness. In the modeling process of Hippophae rhamnoides bonsai, pruning is usually used to improve the plant type. However, the pruning and shaping of Hippophae rhamnoides is generally carried out in winter, but if it is planted in the northern region, it is more appropriate to do it in March after the beginning of spring.

1. Modeling of young trees

The modeling treatment of young Hippophae rhamnoides can be divided into two cases. One is to remove the trunk and make it appear like a shrub, mainly to promote the germination and growth of lateral branches. However, in the past few years, the dry and withered branches were generally cut off and the branches that affected the beautiful plant type were mainly cut, so as to maintain the original appearance of the plant type as much as possible.

In the second case, the seabuckthorn tree needs to be trimmed to highlight the trunk, and its side branches are generally cut off at this stage. The pruning modeling in this way is mainly aimed at the situation where the soil is relatively barren. Because, after all, there are few nutrients in the soil environment, and they are raised as a way of potted plants, cutting off lateral branches can make nutrients more concentrated in the trunk, ensure that the trunk can grow more robust, and improve its own resistance and vitality.

Second, tree shaping

The shaping and pruning of Hippophae rhamnoides is mainly carried out in spring. Before spring pruning, make sure that seabuckthorn has the ability to grow completely independently. For the pruning and shaping of adult trees, it is mainly to cut off the branches in the form of overgrown branches, drooping branches, dry and withered branches, etc. During this period, the main purpose is to make the crown more stable, and the styling can be carried out according to the bearing capacity and personal preferences of the plant. It can be made into a trunk bonsai, a bush bonsai, or a floating branch style effect.

However, in order to facilitate our modeling design and production, we also need to take the way of picking the heart and hitting the top of the branches, so that the modeling effect is more in line with our aesthetic. But generally speaking, the pruning and shaping of Hippophae rhamnoides bonsai should not be too much, although its root system is developed, vitality is tenacious, germination ability is also strong, but it is often limited by the soil, the branches and leaves will not be very luxuriant. Therefore, it is generally not necessary to carry out large-scale shaping and pruning, as long as we can achieve our modeling goal.

In addition, the lifespan of Hippophae rhamnoides is often affected by the regional environment, and even varies greatly. But after all, Hippophae rhamnoides is a kind of tree species which is more suitable for fruit viewing. To make it into bonsai appreciation, in addition to doing a good job of maintenance and management, we also need appropriate pruning to improve the plant type, so that it not only has a beautiful plant type, but also suitable for fruit viewing.
