from seed 1992, basic training from about 1998.

This is one of a series of figs that were grown from seed in 1992. In 1993 I gave all members of the Albury Wodonga bonsai society one or more of the seedlings to grow and develop as a club project and grew a number for myself.
For this bonsai, 3 seedlings were planted on a piece of coastal sandstone to give the impression of figs growing on a rocky foreshore. The roots established really well on the rock but have since grown to the stage where the rock is only just visible now.
