Creation work on a bonsai plant
A bonsai plant is a miniaturisized big tree. However, it reaches neither its shape from itmself, nor it is preserved without our assistance. A beautiful bonsai is the result of the collaboration between the tree and the person who has formed it.
A bonsai plant is a piece of art which never will be finished. The first shaping shows only the beginning of plenty of works which must be carried out during the whole life of the tree. Even a well-balanced bonsai unique in all interests must be brought over and over again in its shape. If you planted a tree in the garden which was maintained many years as a bonsai and now could be freely developed, it would soon lose its bonsai form and grow up into the powerful tree.
In general, the earlier the creation work on the bonsai plant begins, all the less the interventions of the person are visible. A very early beginning of the creation interventions a strong patience of the creator. It lasts many years to steer the development of a seedling or a cutting to the ready bonsai plant from the outset. Nevertheless, the result becomes a bonsai well-balanced in all signs only with a few unimportant scars.
If you start with the formative interventions in the shape of the tree only after some years, the measures will be also more visible and will be much more drastically first of all. The transformation of a several years bonsai plant from the nursery leads rather fast to a considerable result. You will save many years of foresighted creation work. However, it shall be hardly to avoided removing also thicker branches. Indeed, the wounds will flow with the time from the outside inwards. However, nevertheless, always visible scars will stay behind.
As with every art you also need some special bonsai tools and special equipment to create a bonsai. In our last article we introduced bonsai tools for beginners which are very helpful if you want to form bonsai yourself.
