Topic - Larch Wiring Demo and Discussion
GENERAL MEETING
As we embark on our busy bonsai season, let’s take a look at wiring, specifically Larches. Larches are best wired in Spring when the leaf buds are ready to sprout and the bare branches can still be seen. We’ll walk through how to trim and wire larix bonsai, pruning and selecting branches, the selection of wire, wiring the trunk, washing the branches, arranging the branches, etc.. When building the basic canopy, it’s a good idea to wire all young branches every 1-2 years, noting that larch branches thicken rapidly and wire should be inspected regularly to ensure it is not cutting in.
