Flower and Bonsai Network introduction: Today, the Flower and Bonsai Network editor shares with you an article about the aristocrats among bonsai: cliff cypress bonsai, boxwood bonsai, small-leaf red sandalwood bonsai. Let's take a look.

Cliff cypress bonsai

Speakingof collecting, people usually think of traditional collectibles such as calligraphy and painting, antiques, and jade, not realizing that plants can also be collected. In recent years, with the popularity of wooden cultural-play prayer beads, some cultural-play enthusiasts have taken a different approach and included the original plants of prayer beads, in bonsai form, in their collecting scope. So-called "cultural-play bonsai" are plants such as cliff cypress, boxwood, small-leaf red sandalwood, and Chinese yew, which are used to make prayer beads. Most of these plants are quite expensive. Collection requires caution, because unlike wooden prayer beads, they need a suitable growing environment and professional daily care; otherwise they easily die, bringing collectors relatively large economic losses.

In fact, bonsai differs from other collectibles in that it emphasizes artistry more. From the perspective of a bonsai enthusiast, tree species should not be divided by size or price; as long as you like it, that is enough. Do not blindly follow trends, because after all, the pleasure bonsai brings to collectors is what matters most. Of course, if your financial conditions allow, you might as well play with these so-called "cultural-play bonsai," because they are indeed very beautiful. Below, follow the editor to appreciate them together.

Cliff cypress bonsai

Cliff cypress is a completely natural plant that cannot be artificially bred or planted. It is scarce and non-renewable. In particular, cliff cypress growing on cliffs and precipices is relatively even scarcer. Light coffee-colored cliff cypress, commonly known as "aged material," has endured hundreds to thousands of years of wind and sun. Its scent is steady, and its fragrance smells very comfortable. Market prices are mostly above 10,000 yuan. Cliff cypress bonsai is even harder to obtain than root carving. First, it is difficult to dig down from cliffs; digging it out from cracks in stone means it has very few fibrous roots, and transplanting it alive is even harder. There is a saying: "Keep one alive, earn a cartload."

Boxwood bonsai

Like cliff cypress, boxwood bonsai can also be called an "aristocrat." A boxwood with a diameter of 10 cm requires about 150 years of growth, which determines its "aristocratic" status. Among wild boxwood stumps there is no lack of fine specimens, especially pearl boxwood. Pearl boxwood has lived for generations in high mountain ridges or stone cracks. Through the harsh tempering of wind, frost, ice, and snow, it naturally grows into a tree form with gnarled branches, curved trunks, and strange, varied shapes.

Small-leaf red sandalwood bonsai

Small-leaf sandalwood is a fine variety among sandalwoods and is usually also simply called "sandalwood." It has relatively high density and small pores. It is mostly produced in tropical and subtropical primeval forests, with Indian sandalwood being the best. It is mainly found in Mysore State, while the remaining various sandalwood types are classified under the rosewood category. It is often said that among ten sandalwood trees, nine are hollow. The largest sandalwood trunk is only about 20 cm in diameter, so its preciousness can be imagined.

Chinese yew bonsai

Chinese yew is an ancient tree species with a hundred-year history and has a long history of cultivation in our country. Because of its graceful plant shape and deep green foliage, it is also very effective when made into bonsai and is deeply loved by people. Chinese yew has extremely strong medicinal value and can be used to extract paclitaxel. It is an internationally recognized anti-cancer agent and is a national first-class protected tree species. The Chinese yew gets its name because its red berries look like red beans.
