When modeling, different forms of bonsai can be made according to the specific shape of the stump, which can be roughly divided into natural type, coniferous type, tree-shaped stone type and animal type. Each modeling has different forms, such as single-stem type, inclined-stem type, double-stem type, straight-stem type, bent-stem type, horizontal-stem type, cliff type, water-facing type, exposed root type and tree-shaped stone type. Among them, the branches and leaves of natural Vitex negundo bonsai are naturally distributed, delicate and delicate, and the shape of pruning and kneading is adopted. The bonsai of pine, cypress and Vitex negundo is vigorous and powerful, and it is made into a slightly convex disc with a slightly thin periphery by the method of coarse binding and fine cutting, which is dignified and vigorous, like a pine in a distant mountain. The tree-stone Vitex negundo bonsai is unique in shape, or looks like a strange stone or a mountain peak, and it is used as a rock, and the branches on the fruit are trimmed into natural or pine and cypress shapes. And pay attention to the proportion of trees and "mountains" and trees and "stones", which are coordinated and integrated. Animal-type Vitex negundo bonsai is to select stumps similar to animals, and shape branches according to their shapes, so that they are between "similarity and dissimilarity", neither similar nor too similar, so as to avoid the feeling of kitsch.

The modeling of Vitex negundo bonsai is mostly carried out in the growing season. First, the basic skeleton is tied with metal wires, and then carefully trimmed to shape it. New branches can only be carried out after semi-lignification, and water should be reserved properly before winding to avoid brittle fracture of branches. Don't destroy the bud eye when winding. If Vitex negundo has graceful branches, it can be cut off in winter and spring, properly thinned and reshaped after survival. This method is especially suitable for making miniature or small and medium-sized bonsai.
