The Bonsai Blog of Min Hsuan Lo

I have many Foretunella Japonica over 20 years old,
careless in the past few years. The branch is no good,
but the root is splendid , so I decide cut the main branch
to be mini size bonsai.
Early January.( It’s would be better cut when the temperature
more warmer)

Before

After

Proceed

Make smooth

Cut paster

It’s would be better add cut paster twice.

After 80 days , new buds come out from cambium.

This is the strongest one. Most of them as up photo.

Conclusion: This treatment should be operate when the temperature
over 20 or 25 degree C or middle of spring. This winter is more hot,
I do it too early, so waiting too long. Really DANGEROUS,
although all of them have new bud, but I spent too much time to care.

Fortunella japonica is grow slowely. It’s very very expensive
in Japan. I was astonish the prize in the first time when I travel
in Japan. I didn’t buy it from Japan(no money), BUT I REALLY
LOVE THIS VARIETY. SO I DO IT BY MYSELF.

Actually, this raw mateial is amazing, but too selender.

Both two were nearly 18 years old. But Too selender.

Always remember the golden age 20 years ago. that I have many
mini size Fu Ken Tea. Most of them are top choice of main tree in
