Regardez comment nous avons <a href=\"https:\/\/treevaset.com\/fr\/essentiel-bonsai\/bonsai-charme-yamadori\/\">choisi la face et l\u2019apex d\u2019un charme yamadori<\/a> lors de sa toute premi\u00e8re s\u00e9ance de mise en forme.<\/em><\/p>\n<h2>Qu\u2019est-ce que l\u2019apex d\u2019un bonsa\u00ef\u00a0?<\/h2>\n<p>L\u2019apex est le point de croissance le plus haut de l\u2019arbre (sa cime).<br \/>Dans la nature, chaque arbre a un bourgeon principal ou une branche principale qui pousse vers le haut, \u00e0 la recherche de la lumi\u00e8re, et qui en devient le sommet. Toutes les autres branches poussent plus \u00e0 l\u2019horizontale pour capter le soleil.<\/p>\n<p>En bonsa\u00ef, l\u2019apex est le prolongement du tronc. Vous suivez la ligne du tronc vers le haut jusqu\u2019au point o\u00f9 elle se termine par une branche qui monte l\u00e9g\u00e8rement. C\u2019est cette branche ascendante qui forme l\u2019apex. C\u2019est important \u00e0 comprendre, parce que\u00a0:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>l\u2019apex donne sa direction \u00e0 tout l\u2019arbre<\/li>\n<li>il d\u00e9finit la silhouette g\u00e9n\u00e9rale<\/li>\n<li>bien choisi, il cr\u00e9e la conicit\u00e9<\/li>\n<li>il \u00e9quilibre la composition<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>M\u00eame s\u2019il existe des r\u00e8gles, le choix de l\u2019apex d\u00e9pend souvent de l\u2019esth\u00e9tique et de la vision que vous avez de votre arbre.<\/p>\n<h2>Qu\u2019est-ce que la premi\u00e8re branche\u00a0?<\/h2>\n<p>La premi\u00e8re branche est la <strong>branche utilisable la plus basse<\/strong> qui part du tronc.<br \/>Votre regard monte naturellement depuis la base de l\u2019arbre, et le premier point de ramification qu\u2019il rencontre, c\u2019est la premi\u00e8re branche.<\/p>\n<p>Ensuite, les branches se succ\u00e8dent dans l\u2019ordre\u00a0: deuxi\u00e8me branche, troisi\u00e8me branche, quatri\u00e8me branche, et ainsi de suite.<\/p>\n<p>Cet ordre donne au bonsa\u00ef sa structure, son rythme et son \u00e9quilibre.<\/p>\n<h2>Comment choisir l\u2019apex (exemples concrets)<\/h2>\n<p>Le choix de l\u2019apex n\u2019est pas toujours \u00e9vident. Un arbre peut avoir plusieurs branches qui partent du m\u00eame point, et votre d\u00e9cision fa\u00e7onne toute la composition.<\/p>\n<p>Luca montre comment le choix change selon l\u2019orientation de l\u2019arbre\u00a0:<\/p>\n<p>Si vous inclinez l\u2019arbre d\u2019un c\u00f4t\u00e9, une branche qui semblait horizontale peut devenir verticale.<br \/>Si vous l\u2019inclinez de l\u2019autre, c\u2019est une autre branche qui devient le prolongement le plus naturel du tronc.<\/p>\n<p>Quelques r\u00e8gles simples guident le choix\u00a0:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>l\u2019apex ne doit pas \u00eatre la branche la plus fine<\/li>\n<li>une branche qui part de l\u2019ext\u00e9rieur d\u2019une courbe est en g\u00e9n\u00e9ral une bonne candidate<\/li>\n<li>la ligne du tronc doit s\u2019encha\u00eener naturellement de bas en haut<\/li>\n<li>\u00e9cartez les options d\u2019apex qui cassent cette continuit\u00e9<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Par exemple, si une option ajoute une courbe inutile, et qu\u2019une autre garde un mouvement net et naturel, la ligne la plus nette est en g\u00e9n\u00e9ral le bon choix.<\/p>\n<h2>Comment se forment les nouvelles branches\u00a0?<\/h2>\n<p>Toutes les esp\u00e8ces ne bourgeonnent pas facilement sur le vieux bois.<br \/>Dans la vid\u00e9o, Luca travaille sur un pommier, une esp\u00e8ce qui n\u2019est pas connue pour son bourgeonnement arri\u00e8re. Il montre pourtant de petits bourgeons qui peuvent, avec le temps, devenir de nouvelles branches.<\/p>\n<p>O\u00f9 peuvent appara\u00eetre les nouvelles branches\u00a0?<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>sur les bourgeons existants<\/li>\n<li>sur les bourgeons dormants le long du tronc<\/li>\n<li>gr\u00e2ce \u00e0 la stimulation par la lumi\u00e8re et par la taille<\/li>\n<li>par la greffe, si n\u00e9cessaire<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Pour une bonne composition, Luca veut souvent de nouvelles branches \u00e0 des endroits pr\u00e9cis. Si l\u2019arbre ne les produit pas de lui-m\u00eame, il existe une autre solution.<\/p>\n<h2>Greffer une branche quand l\u2019arbre n\u2019en produit pas<\/h2>\n<p>Si l\u2019arbre refuse de faire une branche l\u00e0 o\u00f9 vous en avez besoin, vous pouvez en greffer une.<br \/>C\u2019est une technique classique du bonsa\u00ef, qui consiste \u00e0 mettre en contact le cambium d\u2019une branche avec celui du tronc.<\/p>\n<p>Lorsque les deux cambiums se sont soud\u00e9s, la greffe devient une nouvelle branche, exactement \u00e0 cet endroit.<\/p>\n<p>Une fois la greffe prise\u00a0:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>la liaison avec la branche d\u2019origine peut \u00eatre coup\u00e9e<\/li>\n<li>seule la nouvelle branche reste<\/li>\n<li>la structure devient plus solide et plus naturelle<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>La greffe est particuli\u00e8rement utile sur des esp\u00e8ces comme le pommier, qui ne bourgeonnent pas de fa\u00e7on fiable sur le vieux bois. Pour voir toute la technique en pratique, nous la d\u00e9taillons \u00e9tape par \u00e9tape dans notre guide de la <a href=\"https:\/\/treevaset.com\/fr\/essentiel-bonsai\/greffe-par-percage-bonsai\/\">greffe par per\u00e7age<\/a>.<\/p>\n<h2>En r\u00e9sum\u00e9\u00a0: apex, premi\u00e8re branche et ordre des branches<\/h2>\n<p>L\u2019apex est le prolongement du tronc et d\u00e9finit la structure de la partie haute.<br \/>La premi\u00e8re branche est la branche la plus basse que votre regard rencontre en remontant le tronc.<br \/>Une bonne composition vient d\u2019une ligne de tronc naturelle, du choix du meilleur apex et de branches encourag\u00e9es aux bons endroits.<\/p>\n<p>Conna\u00eetre ces bases rend la mise en forme d\u2019un bonsa\u00ef beaucoup plus facile.<br \/>Il ne s\u2019agit pas d\u2019apprendre des r\u00e8gles par c\u0153ur, mais de comprendre comment les arbres poussent et comment les guider.<\/p>\n<p>Anyone can play bonsai, avec les bonnes connaissances.
