Spring is a time of vigorous growth. Pruning new shoots and roots, and shaping the tree are the main tasks. In particular, the spring pruning of pines, cypresses, and deciduous trees, which are sensitive to cold, is an important pruning period.
Summer:
In summer, the main tasks are to cut off overgrown branches and suckers. Also, for bonsai that bear fruit or flowers, summer is the "flower bud formation period". The point is to finish pruning by early July at the latest.
Autumn:
The pruning done in autumn is basically to maintain the shape of the tree. If flower buds are attached to the branches that have grown since spring, cut back the tips.
Winter:
The frequency of pruning decreases in winter, but it is done as needed.
As you can see, the method of pruning varies depending on the season, so it is important to prune appropriately according to the type and condition of the bonsai. In addition to pruning, proper watering and fertilization are also important for the health of the bonsai. Enjoy taking care of your bonsai and appreciate its beauty throughout the seasons.
