Willow Leaf Fig

Post by DavidWilloughby »

Hi all,

Recently I acquired a Willow Leaf Fig that was grown from a root cutting by a friend, I decided to get stuck into it yesterday and give it its first styling. I am quite pleased with the result, I intend to repot it come late September/early October and in the coming years plan to compact the tree more as it builds ramification.

I will update it once i have repotted it. Any thoughts and comments are welcomed.

Cheers

David

Hi David,
You have a nice tree to start working with. I would imagine that even after a couple of years it should look very good.

Regards Ray
