Will have to cut back sometime !!

Post by cuwire »

Here are 3 of my plants just busting their boots,
I am resisting cutting back at this stage but its going to happen.

The gardinia has about 60 flower buds so I have to cut off about 30 or 40 .. last year it almost turned every leaf yellow and I filally had tocut off all buds.

The fig looks OK for now ??

With the claret top mid last year I took the advice of a member and really cut it back hard ... and it sure has responded. I am confident to cut back again so any design advice !!

The gardenia must smell a treat!
They are lovely, thanks for sharing.
One of the fabulous things about growing bonsai is as you get old and decrepit your trees get old and beautiful
