How to prune Australian fir bonsai

How to prune Australian fir bonsai

1. Need to be trimmed

Pruning is a very important step in growing Australian fir. Because it grows very vigorously and quickly, lack of pruning will affect its growth. Moreover, for a bonsai, pruning is naturally very important because it affects its beauty.

2. How to prune

1. Shortening: This is for branches that are too long. If not pruned, some branches will grow very long, which will look very uncoordinated and affect the overall effect. By cutting them short appropriately, not only can the shape be better-looking, but also the consumption of nutrients can be reduced.

2. Thinning: This is for when the branches are too dense. Sometimes, bonsai often have branches that are too dense and too messy. For them, in order to make the overall look more symmetrical and beautiful, you can selectively cut off some branches and leave some beautiful branches.

3. Root and rhizome tillering: Sometimes, some young branches will appear on the rhizome. These small branches are of no use and will consume nutrients, so it is best to cut them off.

4. Others: In addition to the three main ones mentioned above, you should also pay more attention to whether there are diseased branches and dead branches. Once found, cut them off in time.

3. Notes

1. Use sharp scissors and disinfect them after cutting.

2. When pruning, cut diagonally at an angle of about 45 degrees.
