Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of tree shaping, and in particular to a shaping and cultivating method for medium and large trees used for immersive recreation under the trees. Background Art

[0002] In landscape design and tree maintenance and management, beautifully shaped trees can increase the beauty and artistic value of the landscape; currently, the use of medium and large trees for greening and landscaping has become very common at home and abroad. However, the application market of such trees has gradually shifted from municipal greening projects to courtyard greening and beautification, especially high-end living spaces such as villas. Correspondingly, the requirements for tree quality are no longer satisfied by characteristics such as straight and full trunks and large crowns. It has become a new styling trend to require trees to be natural and flexible, have unique charm and beauty, and be able to provide a comfortable immersive space under the trees.

[0003] To a certain extent, large bonsai trees that have been shaped for decades can also meet their requirements. However, the high price and high maintenance requirements discourage many owners. Currently, some nurseries select wild trees with unique shapes from all over the country for landscaping and have achieved good results, but the development of such wild tree resources is restricted by policies, and the cost of materials is also increasing year by year.

[0004] Existing products include large bonsai or wild trees with unique shapes, which can better meet the needs of high-end courtyard owners. However, their shortcomings are also very obvious: 1) Some lack scientific consideration of the relationship between the tree structure and the crown, resulting in poor or unsustainable shaping effects, and are expensive, especially bonsai, which can easily cost hundreds of thousands or even millions of yuan per year; 2) Wild trees with unique shapes are also very rare, and most of them are included in the ranks of precious trees by policy, and their development and use are subject to policy restrictions; 3) The transplanting and maintenance technology of such trees requires high requirements, and the loss is huge if the cultivation fails.

[0005] The present invention aims to provide a scientific and systematic tree shaping method which can take into account both the health and beauty of the tree. Summary of the invention

[0006] In view of the deficiencies in the prior art, the present invention discloses a method for shaping and cultivating medium and large trees for immersive recreation under trees, so as to solve the problems raised in the above-mentioned background technology.

[0007] To achieve the above-mentioned purpose, the present invention provides the following technical solution: a method for shaping and cultivating medium and large trees for immersive recreation under trees, comprising the following steps:

[0008] S1. Selection of target trees: trees with a height of 3 to 15 meters and healthy full crowns are selected as target trees for shaping. This selection range is determined based on the fact that trees of this height and health can better adapt to the needs of garden landscape after shaping, and have sufficient growth potential to maintain the state after shaping;

[0009] S2. Leave blank space inside the crown:

[0010] 1) Clean up dead branches, remove dead branches and seriously diseased branches that do not have a sense of vicissitudes and do not meet the requirements, which helps to remove the parts that affect the health and appearance of the tree. Dead branches may be the source of pests and diseases, and seriously diseased branches will continue to consume the nutrients of the tree and affect the overall appearance;

[0011] 2) Clean up redundant branches, including those that are too short to extend to the crown, and those that are thin and weak and have low branches and extend to the dense crown, so as to avoid redundant branches that have no positive contribution to the overall shape and beauty of the crown, and may also affect the ventilation and light transmission inside the crown;

[0012] 3) Determine the backbone branches, manually judge whether the branches or twigs extend and occupy a certain volume of the crown, gently shake the branches to determine the scope of influence, and perform branch-crown correlation evaluation operations to determine the backbone branch composition of the tree body that meets the requirements. The special-shaped tree with combined crown shape divides the crown into several units, which are arranged separately to achieve the required blank space in the crown;

[0013] S3. Create a sparse and transparent tree crown: According to the light transmittance requirements and aesthetic needs, the canopy thickness is determined to be 0.3 meters to 1.5 meters and the height of the trimmed canopy is 0.5 meters to 3 meters from the top of the canopy;

[0014] S4. Tree appearance finishing: Pruning is carried out according to the shape of the tree crown, and the final improvement of the whole tree shape is made to make the tree achieve the best appearance effect based on a reasonable structure.

[0015] Preferably, in the step of screening target trees in step S1, the height of the trees is measured by a measuring tool, and then the growth health of the trees is determined by appearance inspection.

[0016] Preferably, in the step of leaving blank space inside the crown in step S2, when cleaning up the waste branches and redundant branches, the cleaning operation is performed by using branch shears.

[0017] Preferably, in the step of determining the backbone branches in step S2, a professional performs a judgment operation on the relevance between the branches and the crown, which specifically includes the following:

[0018] 1) If removing the branch does not affect the integrity of the crown, then the branch-crown correlation is judged to be small.

[0019] 2) If pruning the branch creates a hole in the crown, then the branch-crown correlation is high.

[0020] Preferably, for branches with a large branch-crown correlation, they are used to determine whether they are secondary branches or tertiary branches. Labels are hung on the tree to mark the size of the correlation. Based on the growth pattern of the branches, the size of the correlation with the crown, and the need for resting space under the tree, the branches that have little impact on the crown and are inappropriately positioned are gradually adjusted and cleaned up until a complete trunk and 5 to 18 main branches are retained.

[0021] Preferably, in the step of creating a clear crown in step 3, the branches, leaves and twigs inside the crown are cleaned from bottom to top and from inside to outside using pruning shears.

[0022] Preferably, in the tree appearance tidying step in step S4, professional garden stylists perform crown pruning operations, including removing dead branches, diseased branches and weak branches, adjusting branch density, balancing the crown shape, controlling branch growth direction and pruning cuts, so as to achieve overall neatness, uniform distribution of branches and leaves on the crown, and an aesthetically pleasing effect, or appropriate shaping to present the desired aesthetic.

[0023] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:

[0024] 1. The technology of the present invention is applicable to a wider range of trees. Compared with traditional large-scale annual bonsai or wild trees with unique shapes, the present invention is applicable to most medium-sized and large trees with complete crowns. Therefore, it can be more widely used in tree shaping in courtyards, public recreational places, health care bases, large nurseries and other places, significantly improving its use value and economic benefits.

[0025] The key links and operating techniques for producing the effect: Through the method of the present invention, the branches, leaves and tree bodies of the trees are combined with sunlight and white clouds to create dynamic changes, and the beauty of the trees is better presented through pruning intervention. Traditional tree pruning is mostly based on a horizontal perspective, with the growth and health of the tree body and the appearance as the main basis. The treatment of overlapping branches and twisted branches is mainly simple cleaning, resulting in less aesthetic consideration of the branch skeleton. The bottom-up tree skeleton layout method innovatively proposed by the present invention can better take into account the aesthetic function of the forest. On the basis of ensuring the height of the recreational space, the impact of the changes in each branch on the aesthetic elements of the tree skeleton and crown and people's comfort is evaluated. The number of backbone branches is also retained at 5-18, making the forest environment more refreshing, neat and orderly, and the transition of the thickness of the tree branches is more natural, which improves the ornamental recreation and aesthetic value of ordinary medium and large trees.

[0026] 2. The present invention expands the recreational space of more than 60% of trees

[0027] The key link and operation technology to produce the effect: The effect is achieved by pruning the inner space of the tree crown of the present invention. According to the tree crown conditions, under the condition that the crown thickness of a specific tree is uniformly retained at 0.3-1.5 meters, the branches and leaves in the inner space of the tree crown that do not extend to the tree crown are cleaned as a whole, and only the branches extending to the tree crown are retained. In this way, the resting space under the tree is extended from the simple crown to the inside of the crown, so that the space is expanded.

[0028] 3. The trees of the present invention present more aesthetic value as a whole

[0029] The key links and operation techniques of the effect: The effect is achieved by the technical method of uniformly retaining the canopy thickness of 0.3-1.5 meters. The present invention can meet the needs of cooling off while ensuring that the sun and white clouds can be seen from under the tree; from the outside, the tree branches and trunks, the lights set inside, and even the buildings and plants behind can be seen to a certain extent; the proportion of flowers and fruits of trees in the flowering and fruiting periods is increased, thereby enriching and enhancing the aesthetic value of the trees.

[0030] 4. The present invention improves the growth health and transplant survival rate of trees

[0031] The key links and operation techniques to achieve the effect: The present invention cleans up the weak branches and the parts of the crown that have grown poorly due to insufficient light and water supply or have been naturally pruned, and concentrates the nutrients of the tree in the crown. This makes the average photosynthetic efficiency of the remaining crown higher, the ventilation inside the crown better, and the growth healthier. And because the crown volume is reduced, the survival rate is improved when the full crown is transplanted.

[0032] 5. The present invention expands the cultivation conditions under the tree

[0033] Compared with the airtight results of traditional greening, the trees cultivated according to the scheme of the present invention can create a plant growth space with mild light, good ventilation, suitable temperature and humidity inside and even under the trees, which is especially suitable for the growth of summer succulents and shade-tolerant plants throughout the year.

[0034] 6. The present invention simplifies post-management and saves expenses

[0035] Compared with large bonsai trees or wild trees with unique shapes, the trees formed by the present invention are easy to immerse in recreation, with a complete and fixed tree skeleton, a relatively stable crown and a comfortable and convenient white space inside the crown. Managers only need to regularly clean the new branches and leaves that sprout from the white space inside the crown and perform routine management of the trees as required to ensure that the trees are healthy and beautiful, saving a large amount of maintenance expenses every year.

[0036] 7. The application of the technology of this invention has great potential for expansion

[0037] The present invention can be applied not only to the pruning of large trees in courtyards, but also to the construction of parks and forest recreational spaces. It only needs to treat the trees in a community as different branches of a large tree, and the principle is the same; the canopy thickness response is adjusted to 0.5-3 meters. For shrubs, small trees, and even bonsai and potted flowers suitable for wild tree landscaping, such as azaleas and gardenias, they can also be shaped by referring to the technical method to enhance the economic and aesthetic value.

[0038] 8. The present invention has rich emotional value

[0039] Since the technical solution is easy to operate and the aesthetic part is participatory, the solution of the invention can be used to form a team or a family to collaborate in tree pruning, thereby increasing the opportunity to gain knowledge and fun in tree management.

[0047] The preferred embodiments of the present invention are described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. It should be understood that the preferred embodiments described herein are only used to illustrate and explain the present invention, and are not used to limit the present invention.

[0048] Example: Figure 1-Figure 4 As shown, a method for shaping and cultivating medium and large trees for immersive recreation under trees comprises the following steps:

[0049] S1. Implementation of target tree screening

[0050] Among the garden trees, the height of the trees is determined by measuring tools, and trees with a height of 3 to 15 meters are selected. At the same time, the appearance of the trees, including the growth status of the trunks, branches and leaves, is checked to determine whether they are growing healthily, and healthy full-crown trees are selected as the target trees for shaping.

[0051] S2. Leave blank space inside the tree crown

[0052] 1) Clean up the waste branches

[0053] Professional gardeners will inspect the target trees, identify dead branches and seriously diseased branches that do not meet the requirements and use pruning tools (such as loppers, etc.) to remove them.

[0054] 2) Clean up redundant branches

[0055] Use pruning tools to clean up the short branches inside the tree that cannot extend to the crown, and the thin and low-branched branches that extend to the dense crown, thereby avoiding redundant branches that have no positive contribution to the overall shape and beauty of the crown, and may also affect ventilation and light transmission inside the crown.

[0056] 3) Determine the backbone branches for implementation

[0057] By manually judging whether the branches or twigs extend and occupy a certain volume of the crown, and then gently shaking the branches to determine the scope of their impact; the specific steps include: if the removal of the branch does not affect the integrity of the crown, it is judged that the branch-crown correlation is small; if the crown is hollow after pruning the branch, it is judged that the branch-crown correlation is large. For branches with a large correlation, secondary and tertiary branches can be initially retained, and labels can be hung for further adjustment and selection of internal branches. And the branch-crown correlation evaluation operation is carried out to determine the backbone branch composition of the tree body that meets the requirements.

[0058] According to the growth pattern of branches, the degree of correlation with the crown, and the need for resting space under the tree, gradually adjust and clean the branches that have little impact on the crown and are in unsuitable positions, and ultimately retain the complete trunk and 5 to 18 main branches to determine the backbone branch composition of a beautiful tree.

[0059] For special shaped trees with combined crown shapes, the crown is divided into several units and arranged separately to achieve a beautiful tree skeleton that meets the requirements.

[0060] S3. Implementation of tree canopy construction

[0061] like Figure 2As shown, according to the predetermined light transmittance requirements and aesthetic needs, the canopy thickness A is measured and determined to be in the range of 0.3 meters to 1.5 meters and the height of the canopy trimmed from the bottom to the top is in the range of 0.5 meters to 3 meters from the canopy top thickness B. Then, the gardener clears the branches and twigs in the blank space C in the inner chamber of the canopy from bottom to top and from inside to outside, and the pruning tools used can be pruning shears and other tools.

[0062] S4. Implementation of tree appearance improvement

[0063] Professional garden stylists use pruning tools to properly prune the crown according to the overall condition of the tree. The crown pruning operation includes removing dead branches, diseased branches and weak branches, adjusting branch density, and balancing the crown shape. Control the growth direction of branches and pruning cuts. During the pruning process, constantly observe the distribution of branches and leaves on the crown to achieve an overall neat, evenly distributed, beautiful and generous effect, or prune according to specific design requirements to present the desired beauty.

[0064] At the same time, small recreational items can be configured and night lights, outdoor tables and chairs can be arranged as needed to enhance the recreational function of the trees.

[0065] To obtain experimental data on the performance of a product or result:

[0066] After guiding the nursery company to prune trees many times, the effect is obvious. Taking the osmanthus tree with a height of 5 meters and a crown width of 4.5 meters as an example, the following effects can be achieved:

[0067]

[0068] Note: 1 Measured using Li6400 photosynthesis measuring instrument.

[0069] like Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the trees before pruning have messy branches, dense crowns, and you can't see the sky, which makes people feel depressed; while the trees after pruning have regular and flowing branches, sparse crowns, and sunlight and white clouds can pass through, giving people an excellent sense of space and relaxing the mind.

[0070] Finally, it is concluded that the present invention has the following advantages:

[0071] 1) Expand the recreational space under the tree. From the space under the tree canopy to the space inside the tree canopy, the space has been expanded by more than 60% on average.

[0072] 2) Optimize visual comfort. The green view rate when looking up from under the tree is reduced from more than 90% to 50%-70% (25% green view rate is generally considered comfortable), significantly reducing the sense of oppression and creating an environment where you can see the sun and white clouds without affecting the shade. The branches are now orderly and elegant, and the skeleton is beautiful.

[0073] 3) Improved tree health and enhanced ecosystem functions. This patented technology improves the pruning of inner branches (branches inside the crown) by more than 70% compared to traditional shaping pruning, which can be said to be a revolutionary change. It completely changes the problems of poor growth, high nutrient consumption, and high risk of pests and diseases caused by insufficient light, lack of rain, and poor ventilation in the inner chamber. It has been measured that after pruning with this patented technology, the photosynthetic efficiency of osmanthus increased by 34.8%, and the health level of the tree improved.

[0074] 4) The method of determining the trunk skeleton from bottom to top is created based on human immersive recreation and aesthetics. Therefore, the tree created by it has higher aesthetic value and good economic benefits. The sales revenue increased by an average of 260%.

[0075] Finally, it should be noted that the above description is only a preferred example of the present invention and is not intended to limit the present invention. Although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the aforementioned embodiments, those skilled in the art can still modify the technical solutions described in the aforementioned embodiments or replace some of the technical features therein by equivalents. Any modification, equivalent replacement, improvement, etc. made within the spirit and principle of the present invention shall be included in the protection scope of the present invention.
