Ficus - one head two trunks

Post by anthonyW »

This was two ordinary looking individual figs at the time, so with little bit of imagination and plenty of inspiration in my local area...something different to enjoy.

And some fusion/grafting front and back of each trunk to add more flare and the pot flooded for now to help promote the extras and some strategically placed rocks to keep our medium and topping at bay, with the wise two bonsai inspectors on board :)

So I would set it up with one a little more dominate and angle the other for some more interest.

Maybe an idea for some...cheers

Wow, those added flare grafts sure do look the goods!

Going to look forward to watching these two develop!
