Branch cultivation of weeping willow-style Tamarix chinensis bonsai

To create a weeping willow-style Tamarix bonsai, the first thing to do is to cultivate the trunk. Choose a tamarisk, cut off its original shape, and then leave a strong bud on the main trunk. When it grows to semi-lignified, use wire to trim it, and be careful not to pinch the top. It can be removed after about 20 days, and all other branches and buds should be removed. In this way, after autumn, it can basically take shape and can be shortened in winter.

Cultivation of drooping branches of weeping willow-style Tamarix tamarisk bonsai

In spring, the tamarisk is cultivated to have drooping branches. You can keep 4-5 strong buds on the main trunk and remove the other branches and buds according to the shape you want. When the branches grow to semi-lignified, use wire to shape them. After 20 days, remove them and continue to grow until July. At this time, you can retain some strong branches and let them grow, but also wait until they are semi-lignified to shape them. In this way, you can cultivate branch supports for drooping branches.

Later, when cultivating drooping branches, you can use this branch support as a base. Pruning is necessary in winter.

For drooping branches, you should pay attention to pulling them. You can use mud balls to pull the drooping branches. Choose mud balls of appropriate size according to the thickness of the branches. This way, you can keep the branches drooping.

After pulling the mud ball for about 20 days, you can remove it. Be sure to rinse it off with water, do not remove it with your hands. After removing the mud ball, remove the extra branches and leaves to keep the density and lines smooth.

After processing the branches, pay attention to water and fertilizer, stop fertilizing, but do not let the plant lack water. It is best to spray water on the plant frequently to keep the branches and leaves green.
