Hi All,
To keep the progression going of this tree, I thought I would start up this thread as a continuation from this topic here: viewtopic.php?f=148&t=14685
Here is an update on the tree as I have recently defoliated it and wired it up.
*before
*defoliated and little Figs left on
*after, wired up and where it sits now
*a large bic lighter for a size gauge.
I will update this again once it has foliage
Cheers
David

Beautifully styled tree David and your skill with wire is exceptional but I have to say that pot is sublime!! What a great combo.

Re: Tiger Bark Fig - Progression
Was thinking about defoling a few of my figs soon, thought I'd wait another month though for it to get just a little warmer at night. Great looking tree.

Re: Tiger Bark Fig - Progression
Hi all,
Just giving this a quick update, it is still due a repot at this stage and will be looking to defoliate and rewire it at that time too.
A few more years and it will be looking good, after next years cut back hard and regrow, let grow and repeat for every 2 year period for 6 years, condensing the tree more.
Any thoughts and comments are most welcome.
Cheers

Re: Tiger Bark Fig - Progression
Hi all,
A quick update on this one as it was repotted yesterday, along with defoliating and thinning it out.
Will feed it strong to push growth with the intention of defoliating it early January. Will post a progress photo once it has leafed out.
Any thoughts are comments are welcomed.
Cheers

Re: Tiger Bark Fig - Progression
Hi Dave, The little tiger is looking good, one way it could be improved is to thicken the lower right/back branch by
keeping foliage on it when defoliating the rest of the tree.
Also hard to tell in pic. but you might end up with a knuckle where the long right branch and the top branches emerge.
The pot size and glaze really sets it all off nicely. Keep it going : ....dog.
