Let's learn the main parts of bonsai



Root Spread - The roots that extend horizontally from the ground. As the years pass, the roots rise and firmly grasp the soil.

Trunk - The part of the tree that naturally gets thinner as it goes up from the root. This is referred to as having a good "taper".

Root Flare - The part where the root transitions to the trunk. This is an important point of appreciation as it receives the strength of the root spread.

First Branch - The lowest branch (lower branch). This is the most important branch in a bonsai.

Second Branch - The branch that is above the first branch. It is made on the opposite side of the first branch.

Branch Pad - A cluster at the tip of a structural branch.

Tree Core - The top of the bonsai. The clarity of the pattern affects the tree's quality.

Tree Crown - The tip of the tree (tree crown). It is also a growth point and, except for cliff making, it is the highest point of the tree.

Tree Height - The height from the root spread to the tree core (head).


These are the basic parts of a bonsai tree. Understanding these parts and how they work together is crucial to appreciating the beauty of bonsai.

Welcome to the world of Bonsai!

Image
Bonsai is an art form that encapsulates the beauty and harmony of nature within a small pot. It serves as a mirror reflecting the human heart, revealing an infinite world within. Bonsai reflects the emotions, thoughts, and values of its caretaker. It symbolizes the relationship between humans and nature, showing how we coexist with, respect, and celebrate the beauty of nature. Bonsai is also a living art that experiences growth and change over time, serving as a metaphor for life itself. Each Bonsai weaves its own story through its journey of growth. It symbolizes the fragility and persistence of life, change and constancy, and above all, the passage of time. Therefore, Bonsai is more than just a plant; it is a philosophical expression that bridges the inner world of humans and the outer world. It is a mirror showing how we understand ourselves and the world, and how we interact with them. It is a world in itself. Welcome to the world of Bonsai! https://www.bing.com/ck/a?!&&p=8

Pruning is an important task for maintaining the health and beauty of garden trees and shrubs. The basic steps of pruning are as follows Determine the purpose of pruning: If it's a garden tree for viewing, you prune to maintain a beautiful tree shape. On the other hand, if the purpose is cultivation, you cut off extra branches to promote the growth of the trunk and branches you want to grow. Determine the timing of pruning: Generally, evergreen trees are pruned around June when the vigorous spring budding has settled down and around October when the growth of summer branches has stopped. Conifers are pruned in spring and around October, and deciduous trees are pruned from November to March during their dormant period when the leaves have fallen. Decide which branches to prune: In order to

In bonsai terminology, "Ushiroeda" or "back branch"

In bonsai terminology, "Ushiroeda" or "back branch" refers to the branches that extend to the back of the trunk. These branches play a role in expressing the depth of the entire tree. The back branches are usually placed slightly spread out to the side so that the foliage can be seen from the front. The back branches that come out diagonally are finished in such a way that they peek out from between the branches, considering that the branches further away actually look smaller than the branches in front. The back branches play an important role in taking the balance of the entire tree and are arranged back and forth to bring out the three-dimensionality of the tree.
