Illustration of the pruning process of Maple Bonsai

The best viewing period for maple trees is when the new leaves are just unfolded. If all the leaves are removed at the end of summer and a dilute liquid fertilizer is applied, new leaves can grow in about 20 days, which adds another best viewing period.

Maple trees have strong germination and often grow new buds on the trunk. Buds and over-dense branches that are not needed in modeling should be cut off in time, which can not only save nutrition, but also facilitate ventilation and light transmission.

The pruning time is usually in mid-April.

The new leaves of the triangular maple, which have been raised for 20 years, have already grown. Now it is necessary to cut the leaves and change the basin.

The left side of the main bone branch, then the internal branchlets may wither and die.

The state after shaving the leaves, but this is only a small part of the assignment.

From the top, An is more outstanding, but it is not negotiable to cut it.

After cutting off, the branch wheel will be neat.

The strong buds at the tips of the branches are also cut off.

Even if the weak leaves are kept, they will scorch and shave off once exposed to the sun.

The remaining branches are also trimmed.

An appears to be thicker and uncoordinated, leaving it will only be thicker, cut off the roots, and apply the healing agent after trimming the incision.

The longer branches of the Internode are also cut short if there is no need to release the film.

Reverse branches, downward branches are also cut off.

Only with scientific and meticulous maintenance year after year can we achieve the effect of natural balance of flesh and blood.

After shaving and pruning.

Generally speaking, the main purpose of mechanical leaf cutting is to speed up the storage of twigs. However, after the branch storage reaches a certain degree, leaf pruning is very important to adjust the strength balance of the whole branch tree. Leaf pruning several times a year can effectively inhibit the growth of strong branches and promote the growth of weak twigs. At the same time of leaf cutting, picking buds from strong branches can effectively prevent overgrowth.

In addition, remove the adventitious buds that affect the appearance of the branches, such as inverted buds under axillary buds. After shaving the leaves, it is also the best time to observe the whole tree.
