Banyan Bonsai Features
Main content introduction: The following is related content about the features of banyan bonsai, which will be introduced by the editor.
Banyan is a tropical species distributed in Fujian, Guangdong, Guangxi (T-W), Yunnan, Sichuan, and other places. It thrives in sunlight, prefers warmth, adapts to a humid and rainy climate, slightly shade-tolerant but not cold-resistant, and grows well in fertile, loose, and moist alluvial sandy loam soil.
Banyan has strong vitality and adaptability, and can be cultivated as a bonsai for a long time. Banyan has high ornamental value. Ancient banyan trees are magnificent, with lush branches and trunks, varied postures, and beautiful shapes. Their trunks are robust and powerful, with branches and trunks capable of growing aerial roots. These aerial roots irregularly attach to the trunks and tightly embrace them, merging with the trunks, thickening them, and intertwining the roots and trunks, making them look especially robust. The trunks extend individually, influenced by the environment, either looking up, extending horizontally, or drooping downwards, displaying a variety of postures. The canopy is like clouds or umbrellas, providing a spectacular view. Strong roots rise and extend in all directions, forming claw roots,盘根, and interlocking to form plate roots, giving the tree an ancient and robust appearance.
Banyan is resistant to pruning, and the wounds heal quickly after pruning. The base of the pruned branches sprouts evenly and strongly, and even during the local growing period, pruned branches can sprout. The branches are soft and can be freely wrapped and shaped. The leaves at the base of the branches are smaller, with a bright green color, staying evergreen throughout the year.
Banyan roots are developed, soft, and can be freely bent, straightened, or turned. In high-temperature seasons, after pruning the roots, the root tips grow quickly and in large numbers, easily forming盘根, plate roots, and exposed roots, with rapid root lifting.
Grafting can be used to supplement missing branches or roots. It is easy to breed, with a high number, rapid growth, simple management, few diseases and pests, and high ornamental value.
