4. Fertilization: Thin fertilizers should be applied frequently during the growth period of the ash bonsai, usually in the afternoon on a sunny day when the soil in the pot is dry. In spring, decomposed organic fertilizers should be applied. During the growth period, thin fertilizers should be applied once every 5-7 days. In late autumn, some thin fertilizers should be applied before the ash tree leaves fall to improve the plant's cold resistance.

5. Pruning and shaping : The ash bonsai will sprout more new buds in spring. At this time, the excess new buds should be wiped off in time. During the growth period, the overlapping branches, crossed branches, and diseased and insect-infested branches can be pruned away. The thin branches can be cut short, and the overgrown branches can be cut short to reduce the loss of nutrients.
