九里香是制作岭南盆景最好的树种之一。岭南气候温和、空气湿润、降雨充沛,九里香长特别旺盛。此桩是2001年从一位盆友手中买到的,当时刚移植半年,种在55cm宽的圆鼓盆中,感觉优点、缺点并存:优点是树头大,粗15cm,头部四面生长有多条粗壮的板根(如图一);缺点是此桩原枝被整体截过,留有7处截口,顶枝被截短,左、右各有一条硬直的嫁接枝,几条小枝弱小。笔者认为,此桩根头基础稳健、优良、强劲,枝干再弱小,以后也可以再培养,最终下决心购买。 Jiuli is one of the best tree species in Lingnan bonsai. Lingnan mild climate, humid air, abundant rainfall, particularly strong nine miles long. This pile was bought in 2001 from a potter’s hands, had just transplanted for six months, planted in a 55cm wide round drums, feeling the advantages and disadvantages co-exist: The advantage is the tree head, coarse 15cm, head growth on all sides A number of stout plate root (Figure 1); disadvantage is that the original branch of the pile was cut off as a whole, leaving seven incisions, the top branches were truncated, left and right have a straight grafting, a few Branchlets weak. In my opinion, this pile root foundation solid, excellent, strong, and then weak branches, and later can be further training, and ultimately determined to buy.
