How to shape the triangular maple bonsai

Acer truncatum is a deciduous tree of Qishu family, also known as duck palm tree. Bonsai made of triangular maple, young leaves full of branches in early spring, scarlet attractive; summer green leaves sparse, chic Lingxiu; late autumn yellow leaves full of trees, orange elegant; leaves falling branches in the middle of winter, elegant and elegant. Because of its many advantages, it is widely used in bonsai industry.

The normal growth of the triangle maple down the mountain pile into late May, the branches are about one meter long, at this time according to the later modeling needs can be fixed branches. The following is the modeling process:

Before setting branches, you should carefully observe, conceive, speculate more, ask more friends for reference, cut off branches that are absolutely useless, and then set branches from bottom to top step by step. Because the triangle maple grows fast and the branches grow straight upward, the lateral branches that need to be long need to be manually bound with the head office or wire to pull to the ideal angle. After changing the angle of the branch, the tip of the branch is fixed with a bamboo stick to make it grow upward, this is because the triangular maple branch droops or grows laterally, which is related to the top dominance of the plant.

It is a rainy day in June, and strong winds and heavy rains occur from time to time. The new branches are already nearly one centimeter thick at this time, but they are not yet completely lignified. It is very likely that the branches will be broken by the strong wind, so they need to be fixed and strengthened with wood and bamboo. Can be combined with fixed branches to complete.

The useless branches and buds should be cut off regularly, concentrated nutrition should be supplied to the branches needed, and the missing branches can be grafted. Acer truncatum can heal quickly. It only needs to peel the mother pile, graft on the new branch, tie it tightly and wrap it tightly, and it will heal in a month. Through the growth of one year, the mother branch can be cut off the next year. For those who lack roots, you can also use the same method to find some small old trees to graft.

Acer truncatum is an opposite bud, which will grow two opposite branches during culture. at this time, one should be removed as soon as possible. if the time is long, a big belly branch will occur and affect its appearance. After the roughness reaches the expected range after a growing season, it should be cut short, and those with insufficient roughness should continue to be stocked. If a branch reaches coarseness in the growing season, it can be controlled and thickened by topping, and the coming spring pruning will be in place. In this way, the possibility of losing branches due to the imbalance of tree potential is avoided. Many friends like to prune a lot of fallen leaves, but in fact, this is inappropriate.

Processing: triangular maple modeling is often combined with climbing and pruning for posture processing.

Because of its brittle branches, it is necessary to use softness when climbing, gradually bend, stretch and enter, so as not to break. In addition, it should be carried out when the new tissue of branches grows vigorously and has strong toughness in the rainy season. The big branches are mainly in climbing shape, while the branchlets are mainly pruned.

Tree shape: triangular maple bonsai is simple and elegant, natural and unrestrained is the best. It is made into curved dry type, oblique dry type, straight dry type, withered peak type, root type or cliff type and so on. The old pile can be made into root-connected type, withered peak type or stone-attached pile scene.
