Flower buds

Japanese: 花芽 - はなめ

There are two types of tree buds: those that become flowers and then fruit, and those that become leaves and then branches. The ones that become flowers are called flower buds. When it comes to fruit-bearing and flower-bearing bonsai, it is important to know the characteristics of each tree species regarding the way flower buds grow, as there are various types, such as those that grow at the end of elongated branches and those that grow on relatively short and thick branches (short branches). Therefore, there are differences in how the branches are cut and how the buds are left.

Japanese:

樹木の芽には、花になり後に実になるものと、葉になり後に枝になるものの両方があり、このうち花になるものを花芽と呼ぶ。実もの・花もの盆栽においては、花芽の付き方に関する樹種ごとの特性をよく知ることが大切で、徒長枝の先につくもの、比較的短くて太い枝（短枝）につくものなど様々である。従って枝の切り具合や芽の残し方に違いが出てくる。
