The "Rapunzel" tree isn't showing any signs of life however all four other trees have new growth coming out! Will post some pics when I can for those following along.

Thanks for posting the updated pictures Legoman! It's really exciting to see how many of these are going to survive. I really hope that you'll have a good chance to properly curate these though. I can imagine you getting figs from a little pot of these sometime in the near future, and that would most certainly be an achievement considering how much care you've put into them!

Sorry for the delay, took these last week and not had time to crop and upload them.

So, two months on ...

01: Rapunzel Tree, no sign of life ... yet:

02 & 03: One doing great, lost a few leaves but looking good. The other, the formal upright (which was snapped off at the base) has a couple of leaves coming through though not in frame on this pic:

Image

04: The "medium sized" tree, has several leaves coming through:

Image

05: Mini Tree with some activity down near the base:

So I'm wondering if I should trim these back to just above the signs of life, or let them establish themselves before causing any more trauma?

Give them a bit more time to establish, feed em well, and look at torturing them some more once Summer is here. :D

Hey all wall enthusiasts,

Repotted the three remaining trees over the weekend, they seem to be doing well. I was surprised by the roots on tree "04_medium"! Series below:
