First, pick the heart

The beech trees that are allowed to grow in the wild are tall and majestic, so they are naturally not suitable for bonsai, so in order to control the growth height of beech trees and make them more suitable for bonsai production, we first need to achieve this goal through coring treatment. The time to pick the heart is often carried out when the beech tree grows the trunk and sprouts a certain number of adventitious buds, and the adventitious buds should be erased at any time to avoid sprouting forks.

2. Picking leaves

If we want to turn the beech into the bonsai material we need, in addition to picking the heart, picking leaves is also very important. It is usually done when it begins to sprout, that is, to pick off the extra leaves in time when it enters the spring, or when the leaves grow more in April-May. But the more safe method is to pick leaves timely and appropriately, otherwise it is disadvantageous to remove too much or too little.

Third, pruning

In spring and summer, beech trees will sprout a large number of main branches, side branches, cross branches and other forms of branches, during this time we should strengthen the pruning of these branches. Sometimes there are a small number of disease and insect branches, which need to be cut off as well. And after entering the winter is the best time for us to shape and build the beech tree, we can trim the tree effect we need.

If the plant has too many roots, it will not only make the pot crowded, but also affect the normal growth of the pot. Therefore, proper root pruning is an important measure to ensure that the plant keeps good growth. Of course, root pruning is often combined with changing pots, and after proper pruning, it is often necessary to replace it with a larger bowl.

The pruning of beech trees is generally carried out within 2 weeks after flowering, and can also be cut lightly during April-May, mainly to cut off the branches and leaves that affect the appearance of beech trees. And winter pruning, mostly to create bonsai beech tree shape, at the same time to cut off the withered branches and leaves, diseased branches and so on.
