1997年我购得此桩,从当时的生长走向及头根部判断,它是天然形状的悬崖桩。无论是细小苍老的身干,还是嶙岣的头段,说明它之前的生存环境应该是干燥恶劣的。桩虽小但树龄应不短,桩长约140cm呈倒挂状,前半段弧形细小,后半段有曲度,整桩末端才有稀疏的几条小枝,这是野桩的特征。天然的悬崖桩虽然少见,但这桩却并非制作盆景的良材,只不过这形体的桩我园子内没有,于是买别的桩时随意顺带着买了它,希望用时间慢慢培育(图一)。每次买来新桩后,我都尽量设法留下一张当时的照片,而此后的照片 In 1997 I bought this pile, from the growth of the time and head to judge, it is a natural shape of the cliff pile. Whether it is small old bodywork, or the first section of staggering, indicating that the living environment before it should be dry and harsh. Although the pile is small but the age should not be short, the pile length of about 140cm was upside down, the first half of the arc small, the curvature of the second half, the whole pile sparse sparse few branches, which is the characteristics of the wild pile. Although the natural cliffs rare, but this pile is not good material for making bonsai, but this form of pile I did not park, so when you buy other piles casually bought it, hoping to slowly cultivate time (Figure 1 ). Every time I bought a new pile, I tried my best to try to leave a picture of the time
