笔者于十年前,从杭州植物园引进一批耐阳、抗性强、观赏性好,又适于制作盆景的杜鹃花新品种,并参照日本芝端祥介先生介绍的经验,从杜鹃花幼树开始采用金属丝扎缚技法进行制作、调理。经过实践,现已取得成功。现将该技术应注意的几个主要环节向大家作个介绍。一、适期扎缚应掌握在幼苗移植后第二年开始扎缚造型。因树龄大,枝干粗,容易造成枝干折裂或折断。实践证实,每年的10月上旬至次年2月下旬是扎缚的最适宜时期。二、扎缚前的工作 1.扎缚前1～2天,对杜鹃花浇一次透水,使枝条有适当的水分,便于扎缚,并能避免操作时枝条损伤。2.备好扎缚材料铁丝或铝线。主干扎缚最好用铝线,容易操作,又不易伤皮、折裂;枝条较细,如缺乏铝线,可用铁丝。金属丝的粗度,应根据枝干的硬度和粗度灵活掌握。一般主干使用8～10号 Ten years ago, the author introduced a batch of new rhododendrons from Hangzhou Botanical Garden that are resistant to the sun, strong resistance and good ornamental ability, and are also suitable for the production of bonsai. Based on the experience introduced by Japan’s Shibaura Yoshio, Began to use wire bonding techniques for production, conditioning. After practice, success has now been achieved. Now the technology should pay attention to several major links to everyone to make a presentation. First, the appropriate tie tie should be seized in the second year after transplantation seedling tied shape. Due to age, large branches, likely to cause the branches to fracture or break. Practice has proved that from the beginning of October each year to the end of February next year is the most appropriate period of bondage. Second, the tie before the work 1 tie 1 to 2 days before the tie, the azaleas poured a water, so that the branches have the right water, easy tie, and to avoid injury during operation branches. 2. Prepared tied wire or aluminum wire. Trunk tied the best aluminum, easy to operate, but also not easy to hurt the skin, fracture; thin branches, such as the lack of aluminum, available wire. The thickness of the wire should be flexible according to the hardness and thickness of the branches. General trunk use 8 to 10
