How to make a bonsai of cherry blossoms

Cherry Blossom Bonsai Material Selection

Cherry tree seedlings are directly planted in pots to make bonsai. Choose a small, gracefully shaped cherry tree that you can directly plant in a pot and enjoy. After potting, you can do some slight trimming.

In addition, you can select cherry blossom trees and transform them into cherry blossom bonsai. The cherry trees in the courtyard that are growing weaker, or those that are growing poorly and are not suitable for courtyard decoration, can be transformed by using the high grafting method.

How to make a cherry blossom bonsai

For custom-made cherry blossom bonsai, the plant can be trimmed by combining pruning and trunk shaping, or by high grafting and head replacement.

The high grafting method of cherry blossoms is usually performed in early spring, when the cherry blossoms are sprouting, and the cutting grafting method can be used. You can first cut the cherry branches and put them in the refrigerator for refrigeration, and then graft them after the rootstock sprouts.

Choose a suitable scion and cut it into 5-6 cm branches with 2-4 buds. Choose a branch from the selected cherry tree that is similar to the scion as the rootstock. After trimming it flat, make a straight cut on the rootstock. The length of the cut should match that of the scion.

After preparing the rootstock and scion, insert the scion into the rootstock, making sure the scion and the cut are aligned. After connecting, tie it with plastic film, put on a white transparent plastic cover bag, and tie the bag opening to keep it moisturized.

When grafting, different varieties of cherry blossoms can be grafted onto one rootstock to make assorted cherry blossom bonsai.

Cherry Blossom Bonsai Care and Management

In fact, cherry blossom bonsai is not very popular at present, but the maintenance method is somewhat similar to that of peach blossom, and no special care is required.

The main thing is to pay attention to some possible problems during the growth period of the cherry blossoms, so that you can enjoy the beautiful bonsai every day.
