Nice Qitianlong, I particularly like the second one from the top. Beautiful pots too. Stumpy has that branching potential to be one of those trees you just can't tell its size in a photo. Cheers Shane

Hi Qitianlong , mate you have to be cruel to be kind . They are looking good much better than mine anyway . I should treat my lot to a full chop and make a few new shohin as well .

Thanks guys, here's a pic of stumpy with a reference...
I'm just relieved that the first 3 in matching pots survived the surgery...

Re: My ficus shohin progressions...
Looking really nice bud. I must say though, if I had one criticism it would be that first branch on the right. Seems very straight and thick. May just be the photo?

Re: My ficus shohin progressions...
Nice... I don't mind the first right branch,- feature first branch- a bit more ramification will help that branch.

Re: My ficus shohin progressions...
Really obvious progression in the 3 or so years since the pic above, it's going very nicely and maturing quickly. I can see what Andrew is saying about that first branch on the right ... but I also see a great tree overall.
