Cultivation and shaping techniques of bonsai of old persimmon

1. Seed propagation

After the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, pick the ripe fruits, take out the seeds, wash them with clean water, dry them, and then store them. Wait until early April, soak the seeds in warm water at about 30℃ for 2 days, then take out the seeds, put them in a container, cover them with several layers of gauze, keep the gauze moist, water them with clean water once a day until the seeds open and germinate, then sow them on the prepared seedbed, and then carry out normal management. After three years, they can be potted for shaping.

2. Basin and shape

Dig up the propagated persimmon tree and put it in a pot. When shaping, you can use wire to shape its trunk and main branches. In the later management process, pruning is the main method, supplemented by hanging. The soil for the pot can be prepared by yourself using leaf mold, coarse river sand and garden soil. After transplanting to the pot, water it thoroughly and keep it in a cool place for half a month before switching to normal maintenance.
