The modeling method of thick pruning and fine cutting of firethorn bonsai

Firethorn bonsai should adopt the modeling method of coarse binding and fine cutting, which is generally carried out in autumn. first, the trunk is roughly tied into different forms such as oblique stem or lying dry with iron wire or brown wire, and then it is cultivated for a period of time, and then the pile landscape layer is trimmed and shaped according to the design, so that the whole tree shape is clear and elegant.

Firethorn basin is very fastidious, in order to set off its red fruit, generally use white, light blue, light green or light yellow and other light color, cold bonsai basin.

If the firethorn stump in the pot at the beginning of the year is properly maintained, the soil, fertilizer, water and insect control can keep up, and the new branches can grow to 60cm~80cm from July to August. At this time, the first styling and pruning should be carried out.

According to the stump shape, the design idea is carried out according to the timber intention, and in line with the overall situation, acting in accordance with their aptitude and complying with the modeling principle of nature, do not leave only 3mur5 branches and cut off all the other branches.

Except for parallel branches, overlapping branches, crossed branches and cut dry branches, other branches should not be cut as far as possible. If there is any surplus in the future, it will not affect the whole tree shape if you keep it while cutting it.

For the retained thick and main branches, the thicker aluminum wire is used to strongly twist in place and set at once.

For the twigs on the main branch, tie the branch with thin aluminum wire to locate, first tie the top and then the lower part, first tie the big branch, then tie the twig, from the base to the tip.

When winding, wrap one end of the aluminum wire around the trunk to fix it. The aluminum wire should be glued to the bark and wound evenly at an angle of 45 °with the trunk diameter to the top.

According to the needs of the shape, the branch bends to the right and the aluminum wire should be wound clockwise; if the branch bends to the left and downward, the aluminum wire should be wound counterclockwise.

The vitality of Hippophae rhamnoides is extremely strong, and the flexibility of the branches is also very good. In modeling, even if the twist is broken, as long as there is still a layer of skin unbroken, it still does not affect its normal growth.

It is usually removed after 60 days with aluminum wire.

The second styling trimming is carried out from September to October.

After the first pruning, the outline of the crown has basically taken shape. at this time, it depends on whether the roots, stems, branches and leaves of the bonsai are natural, smooth and dense, cut off the excess branches, keep the short branches, and observe and think more in the process of maintenance. need to be repeatedly flat binding, pruning, modeling, heart-picking, sprout in order to maintain a beautiful tree shape.
