FICUS NATALENSIS Progression "Mother Natalie"

Post by Rintar »

G'day all just a quick post to show some progression on a Ficus Natalensis I have that started as a 2cm 10cm long cutting back in 2011 with 3 leggy "branches running off it. I have used and abused thus tree as my learning device had a lot of fun and a little success along the way.

That’s a very large tree, look forward to seeing where your changes will take it in the next few weeks.
The tree labeled Nat’s competition is that also one of yours?
Cheers

So serious competition then ;)
I think in our own way we are all competitive, trying to aspire to that tree we have seen and want. :mrgreen:
