Re: Time to show off your figs (ficus)
Hi here’s a few of mine
Port Jackson collected in the late sixties
A Little Ruby I picked up last year, deceased estate, Cambewarra Bonsai. Chopped 90%, wired and potted, root over rock.
Queensland small leaf Fig, had it for a long time, exsposed root, a bit quirky
Ficus obliqua another one from the sixties, major chop last year, one year of development, I really like the trunk.
Another Queensland small leaf shonin stands at 180mm, great ramification for 2 Years development
Thanks
Tim

Thanks guys. They're still a long way from being anything special, but they're lots of fun. @Pierre you really should get some Willow leaf figs, they would thrive in your yard! (Could be too much work though...so that should be kept in mind.)

Re: Time to show off your figs (ficus)
I looked at these pics yesterday and realised some of the plants shown had evolved a little, so I'm posting them together, plus some others....

Thanks Kirky, they've all gone gangbusters since then! Too hot to go out and take photos though, so you'll have to take my word for it.

Re: Time to show off your figs (ficus)
Holiday Fig!
Holidaying with 4 grandkids and 2 Figs and finally got around to wiring this one, I inherited this one from my late Grandma back in the early 90’s hence the “mermaid” style trunk which I’ve retained rather than a radical restyle. I’m happy with it after it’s third wiring in as many years, although it needs more back branches mid canopy. Excuse my wiring as I’m recovering from a dislocated finger...... and also the pot $2.47 from Kmart it’s that old!
Wishing you all a fantastic 2021
