Tree stump Bonsai pile trunk pruning technology

Tree stump bonsai is a kind of living work of art that plants old woody plants are planted in a basin, after years of pruning, binding, fertilization and other artistic processing, fine management, so that the trunk is vigorous and powerful, branches and leaves luxuriant. It will not be shaped because of the first artificial modeling, but continue to grow and change according to the laws of nature. therefore, the usual maintenance management is very important.

Tree stump bonsai is often made of woody plants, selecting plants with graceful posture, short plants, small leaves, long life, pruning resistance, strong resistance and easy modeling to restrain their growth without violating the tree growth habits, picking leaves, picking hearts and so on. and carry on the modeling processing. In the process of cultivating this kind of bonsai, the producer can process it into a variety of artistic shapes, such as intertwined or vigorous, straight and straight, according to his own intention.

In order to make a simple and elegant tree shape, it is necessary to process the tree trunk, whether it is the tree stump dug back in the wild or the artificial tree stump.

1. Bending

In order to prevent the trunk from breaking, the outer edge of the curved surface should be lined with a hemp bar before bending, and then tightly wound with hemp, so as to enhance the toughness of the trunk and prevent splitting. The thicker trunk is difficult to bend, so it is necessary to cut a boat-shaped longitudinal groove on the outer edge of the curved surface, deep xylem 2 to 3, and then wrapped with hemp skin. Finally, the nylon rope is tied to both ends of the tree trunk to bend it.

2. Carving

Most of the bark of some old stumps have been cracked, in order to make them look more ancient. The outer skin can be properly carved with a carving knife to make the strands on the trunk more prominent. In addition, the cut left in the trim is quite ugly, and it should also be repaired by carving. The flat cut carves out strands, but do not show stiff knife marks.

3. Make up

The dry skin of some flower and fruit stumps are relatively smooth, which can not meet the production requirements of bonsai, so the sticking wood method can be used to make up for it. First find a piece of decaying trunk skin and stick it in front of the smooth stump trunk for camouflage. When fitting, do not apply glue comprehensively, do not use chemical synthetic glue, should use resin glue, and use the method of selling to supplement, so as not to hinder the growth of the trunk. If the skill is excellent, the dried stump seems to be that fresh branches and leaves really grow out of the decaying wood, making it difficult to tell the true from the false.
