The welcome pine, as a common bonsai tree species in the garden, is favored for its beautiful form. Through clever pruning, the welcome pine can show a variety of unique shapes, adding a unique charm to the garden. Here are some pruning tips to help create an eye-catching welcome pine look.
Before pruning, the welcome pine should first be carefully observed and designed. Observe the growth of the tree, the distribution of the trunk and branches, and understand the morphological characteristics and possible shapes of the tree. Then, according to the design idea and the actual situation of the tree, the direction and degree of pruning are decided.
When performing initial pruning, first prune off the branches that grow at the base of the trunk and overlap to keep the tree tidy and airy. Adjust the length of the main trunk and secondary branches, prune off branches that are too long or too short, and make the tree shape more symmetrical and coordinated.
According to the shape of the design, the shape of the welcome pine began to be gradually shaped. Different pruning techniques can be used, such as "pulling branches", "tying pills", "truncating", etc., to create the desired shape. Pulling branches refers to stretching branches to increase the sense of hierarchy of the canopy; Zha pill is the twisting of branches into a ball or oval shape; Truncation, on the other hand, prunes the tip of the branch to make it flat or round.
Regular trimming is essential to keep your look clear and neat. Moderate pruning can be carried out every spring and autumn, and the pruning process should be done with attention to the strength and direction to maintain the natural growth of the tree. In addition, maintenance should also be strengthened, including regular fertilization, maintaining suitable humidity and ventilation, etc., to ensure the healthy growth of the welcome pine.
The art of pruning the welcome pine is not only a technical job, but also a garden art. Through proper pruning, the welcome pine can not only show a variety of elegant shapes, but also become the focal point of the garden, adding a unique beauty and ornamentality to the whole environment.
