Taxodium ascendens can be processed into different forms of bonsai, such as inclined dry type, straight dry type, bent dry type, double dry type and horizontal dry type. However, it is not suitable for cliff-style and waterside-style bonsai. Its crown is mostly natural, and it can also be made into vertical-branch bonsai by using the natural drooping characteristics of its branchlets. When making, cut off the branches that are not needed for modeling. Sometimes, the trunk is straight and has no posture, so it can be cut off. In addition, the well-shaped lateral branches are cultivated as the trunk, which makes them tortuous and have high ornamental value. The branches of Aralia elata are very soft. If some branches and stems are not in good shape or suitable position, they can be tied or pulled with iron wire, and the shape of branchlets is mainly trimmed. The root of Aralia elata is very simple and colorful, which can raise the soil surface, make it hang down and show its claws, and improve the artistic value of bonsai.
