How to prune the bonsai of Triangle Maple

Triangle maple graceful posture, beautiful leaf shape, leaf tip three shallow crack, like duck web, quite resistant to viewing. Early spring new leaves, delicate green; autumn, leaf color to dark red or yellow, more pleasing to the eye. Such as in late summer and early autumn, the old leaves will be removed, applied a quick-acting nitrogen fertilizer, half a month later, and issued fresh new leaves, light green or red, can increase its ornamental effect.

To cultivate a good triangle maple, we must have a full understanding of it. Nature found that it generally grows near the water source, sufficient light on the river, ridge, some roots have been extended into the river sediment, some in the rubble pile growth, and so on environmental factors analysis of Acer tricornutum love wet, sunny environment, the soil requirements are not strict. After transplanting home, the environment suddenly changes, we need to artificially create the required environment, now on the pruning link to make some introduction, share some of my experience.

The normal growth of the pile into late May branches have a meter long, at this time according to the needs of the future modeling can be fixed branches. Before setting branches, carefully observe, conceive, ponder more, ask friends for reference, cut off absolutely useless branches, and then set branches step by step from bottom to top. Because triangle maple grows fast, branches grow straight upward, lateral branches that need to be horizontally long need to be artificially pulled to an ideal angle with aluminum wire or rope. After branches change angle, the tips of branches should be fixed upward with bamboo sticks, and branches droop or grow horizontally will slow down, which is related to the advantage of plant top. Entering June is plum rain days, strong wind and heavy rain weather sometimes occur, the new branches at this time thick has been faster than one cm, but not completely lignified, at this time the strong wind to break the branches is very likely to occur, it needs to be fixed with wood bamboo reinforcement, can be combined with fixed branches to complete.

For useless branches and buds to be regularly cut off, concentrated nutrition supply needs branches, the lack of branches can be connected, triangle maple healing ability is fast, only need to peel the mother stake, rely on new branches, tied tightly wrapped, a month to heal together, through a year of growth, the second year can cut off the mother branch. The same method can be used to find some small old trees to join.

Triangle maple is opposite bud, in culture will grow two opposite branches, at this time should actually remove a branch, a long time, will occur big belly branch, affect the appearance. After a growing season, the thickness should be cut short after reaching the expected range, and those with insufficient thickness should continue to be stocked. If a branch reaches thickness in the growing season, it can be controlled by topping, and cut in place in the spring of the following year. This avoids the possibility of losing branches due to unbalanced tree vigor. There are many friends who like to prune a lot after falling leaves. In fact, this is not appropriate. In southern Anhui, winter is still cold. If the germination is not in place after frostbite, it needs to be re-cultivated and the cultivation time increased. If there is a greenhouse, it is another matter.

Pay attention to the main stem when pruning, often pay attention to its whole body, it is easy to grow small buds in the whole body, and grow quickly. Short and effective shearing methods can be adopted, that is, frequent shearing and frequent repair. In the early stage of bonsai production, there should be a long branch storage stage to ensure that the branches are strong. After the branches grow to 40 cm long, they will be tied. At this time, the processing techniques should be tied mainly, supplemented by scissors. The branches of the triangle maple are relatively brittle and hard, so be careful not to break the branches when winding.

When the bonsai is basically formed, it is necessary to cut mainly to maintain the tree shape. Around the first ten days of August, the old leaves are picked several times, which can make the leaves of Acer triangularis smaller and the autumn leaves red. Cut back long branches as needed. In the early stage of modeling, the main pattern is lazar, and in the late stage, the main pattern is pruning. Branches, branches, branches and crutches must be carefully trimmed, observed after leaf fall, cleaned before germination. Raise thick short cut, put long raise thick short cut again, repeat a few times to become fine!
