How to prune yew bonsai

1. Pruning method

1. Bud removal: After the yew bonsai is just planted, it will gradually adapt to the new environment and grow new buds. At this time, in order to consume nutrients, some new buds need to be pruned off.

2. Shortening: When the branches on the plant grow long, they should be shortened according to the situation. Generally, you only need to cut off the overly long parts. You can do light or heavy pruning.

3. Thinning branches: In order to make the yew grow thicker, it is necessary to thin out the parts that grow too densely. When the branches become sparse and orderly, nutrients will be supplied more concentratedly, and the plant will be better ventilated, which will be more conducive to fruiting.

4. Pruning: If the weak and dead branches on the plant are not removed in time, it will hinder its growth. These branches need to be pruned from the base. In addition, some diseased branches should be cut off immediately after being discovered.

2. Precautions

1. If there is a large cut when pruning the yew bonsai, you need to apply some charcoal to it to prevent rot.

2. Pruning should be done according to the growth of the plant. Do not do it arbitrarily or blindly, so as not to reduce the aesthetics due to excessive pruning.
