Trees for a bonsai garden


The shaping of bonsai can occur always only with the tree and should be never directed against the bonsai. It may be sometimes attractive to build an bonsai garden with trees with an unusual, virtuos shape. But here the esteem before the tree should have precedence before the craving for recognition of the creator. With the shaping of the tree the people should take care, everything work out what in the tree will give to you. However, it is absolutely wrong if the creator wants to force upon the tree only his form understanding. Only after long intuitive activity of the tree the creator can develop images which shape is measured for the tree. The technologies of the bonsai creation are aids people can learn. However, their use should not become the end in itself.

To learn more about it, it is the best to have a look at trees in extreme locations once, for example, at the mountains. Here you can develop the feeling for the genetic range of the different species of trees.
This counts especially to the possible forms of trees forms and the technologies of shaping to be applied for it. On a continuing basis will survive, for example, only the species of trees with the big wrenched family parts whose wood is resistant by storage of tannic acids from nature. Hence, for such methods only long-living species of trees are suitable, like pine, juniper, cypress, false cypress or also oaks. Short-lived kinds like birches and willows are inexpedient for it. It must be seen to the fact that a bigger wound can well close mind. In such trees a wound from the size of 1/2 inch must be always covered with wound treatment means.
