Wiring Deciduous Trees
Deciduous trees can be wired anytime through the growing season. With leaves, it is a bit harder to study the bonsai tree structure and wire the branches at this time.
[edit] Deciduous trees
Deciduous trees include Maple, Oak (but not all species), Elm, Aspen, and Birch, among others, as well as a number of coniferous genera, such as Larch and Metasequoia.
Deciduous trees tend to split in two at a leaf node, Pines are capable of producing a bud wherever there is a needle, but generally will only bud at the tip of this years growth.
Deciduous trees are starting to colour up, quite often maples are suffering from a little burn and dry leaf tips.
Deciduous trees should be repotted every 2-3 years. Slower growing evergreens need repotting every 4-5 years.
Deciduous trees, trees that are sensitive to hot sun and small trees that would dry out too much, maintain their color better and stay in better health under the lath shelter. Ground cover plants (other than mosses) do well under the lath.
For deciduous trees, such as Maples, the Chinese Elm or others, scissor tip pruning is best. Trim the new shoots back to your imagined point based on the sketch.
For deciduous trees, air-layering is carried out in April to May as new growth hardens off and changes to its Summer colour. For evergreens, air-layers should be left until a little later; from late April until July.
Many deciduous trees will form a jungle of low branches in addition to the desired whip which will form the next trunk section. Leave these low branches on the tree. Branches increase the diameter of the trunk up to their point of attachment.

yet develop in early spring. So late autumn and early spring are the best
seasons to root-prune plants in temperate zones. In these periods, leaves of ...
Roughly speaking, deciduous trees should be repotted once in two or three years; evergreen conifers, once in three to five years. If the roots grow very rapidly, like willow or crape-myrtle, they need an additional repotting at the end of each summer.

For example, conifers and pines normally do better in a courser mix, whereas deciduous trees prefer a mix with a higher amount of organic material mixed in.

By mid-September, most conifers and deciduous trees can be transplanted. Begin preparation for winter. Trim any strong growth on the upper portions of conifers and clean off any dead needles.
Evergreen trees and tropicals don't lose all their leaves at one time like deciduous trees. They do partially replace their needles and leaves during the growth cycle. They have different levels of dormancy than we see on deciduous trees.
I have more deciduous trees than I do junipers, but I spend more time with the junipers, not just because they require it, but I find them more fun to work with as I can see their progress almost on a daily basis.
" Non, mon ami, remember that our deciduous trees are moving sugar to the roots so the roots still need to be maintained, and our evergreens are still plugging along, albeit at half speed, ...

Wiring can be done at any time of year, but it is most easily done on deciduous trees in the winter when they have no leaves. Buy annealed aluminum or copper wire made for use on bonsai, which is much more pliable than regular wire.
sieved pine bark and Haydite® (a fired shale product). Deciduous trees get 60% bark and 40% Haydite. Evergreens get 40% bark and 60% Haydite. The mix can be further screened to achieve larger/smaller particle sizes as needed.
