Progress Of An Imported Fig

Post by Dave54 »

Hi Everyone,
This Fig appears in another posting in this forum and was imported by a Sydney nurseryman from China.
It stands over one metre tall and has been the subject of severe grafting.
Anyone who wants the full photo record of these grafts will have to buy "Bonsai Ramblings" which is available in this forum, but I have basically removed many branches that were located in the wrong positions and relaced them to other areas of the tree.
These branches had Aerial roots on them which sustained the branch until the graft was fully attached.
The branch structure still requires improvement with the spacings between them not ideal
cheers
Dave
