Wiring Tips For Your Bonsai Tree by Andrew Kozlowski
The art of bonsai is all about shaping and training the tree. No matter what style and species you select for your bonsai, it will be your job to gently but firmly train its branches to grow in desired directions, and to keep the tree from getting bigger.
Wiring a young bonsai tree is central to the shaping process, and is analogous to applying braces for the teeth. The wire��s job is to hold the branches in place by exerting just enough pressure to keep them from moving out of position. Either anodized copper or aluminum wire can be used; these two kinds of wire are easy to bend, are less noticeable than other metal wires, and are less likely to cut into the tree��s bark and leave scars.
There are different ways to wire a bonsai depending on the species of tree and the particular shape or bonsai style you are after. Following are some basic tips on using wire to shape your bonsai:
Wiring Branches
Starting at the anchor point and using pliers to gently bend the wire, wrap the branch with wire to move it into the desired position. Wrap the wire in a counterclockwise direction at an angle not any sharper than about 45 degrees.
Always start with the thickest branches and move on to the thinner ones near the tree��s apex. Keep the natural bends and curves of the branches in mind during wiring,airmax 2003 shoes, and never force a branch in a completely different direction than it would naturally grow.
Wiring Twigs
You��ll need to wrap thin branches or twigs more closely; and never wire a still-green twig or budding branch. Wrap branches and twigs from below and move up the tree. If a branch does break during wiring, you can place the broken part back into position and wrap it with garden tape,mbt sneakers reviews, or you can cut the broken branch back to where it snapped off.
Anchoring
Many bonsai hobbyists start the shaping process by using wire to anchor a branch or branches to the container or soil. This works especially well on thicker branches. The technique can also be used on the tree trunk. Start by looping a wire over the branch you want to anchor and then secure the other end to the pot or to another branch or trunk. The tension on the wire should be taut,vibram five fingers free shipping, but not tight enough to injure the bonsai��s bark.
When To Wire
Most deciduous trees, or those that lose their leaves, should be wired when their leaves are mature, in early summer. If your tree is growing quickly, some experts recommend removing the wire between growing seasons (during the tree��s dormant period). This will avoid excessive constriction by the wires, which can cut into the bark, leaving scars.
Coniferous trees that have needles, such as pines, should be wired over the winter before the growing season. Outdoor bonsai should be protected from cold, heat, and heavy wind and rain for at least a month after wiring.
Once the bonsai is wired,jimmy choo shoes on sale, pay close attention because as the tree matures, its branches will gradually thicken, and you don��t want the wire to dig into the bark. Remove any wire that has grown too tight by cutting it off. The general rule is to leave the wires on for a full growing season, through the spring and summer in most cases, and remove them in the fall. You can rewire if your bonsai has not yet achieved the desired shape.Topics related articles：
