The vitality of lobular red sandalwood is relatively strong, there is no need to worry about the wrong cut, but its growth rate is slow, so it is necessary to keep the main to go secondary.

The pruning of bonsai should be based on the growth characteristics of plants and the artistic modeling requirements of bonsai. Modeling is very different from normal management pruning. During modeling, when the branches of a tree are cultivated to a suitable thickness, a section is cut off from each branch. If this is taken as the first branch, then the transverse branch that will grow on it will be the second branch. When the second branch grows to the right thickness, it will be cut off to produce the third branch, and so on, resulting in the fourth branch and the fifth branch.

The period of pruning should be treated differently by tree species. In general, deciduous tree species should be pruned before sprouting after deciduous leaves, evergreen should be pruned when the growth is exuberant, and ornamental trees should be pruned after flowering. In addition, trees should be pruned after a period of time in spring and summer to accumulate nutrients.

For trees that have been processed and mature, they need to be pruned frequently in order to keep their tree shape unchanged. Pruning can not only maintain the original tree shape, but also can be changed appropriately to make it more beautiful. However, we should be cautious and have a certain ability of artistic creation. Generally speaking, all cross branches, parallel branches, wheel branches and some unattractive branches need to be pruned. Diseased branches must be cut off. Dense branches and leaves should also be properly pruned to facilitate ventilation and light.
