[not updated][Ninegrain] Ficus rubiginosa 1 ROR

Post by Ninegrain »

• Species name- Ficus rubiginosa
• Original height of stock- 34cm, but will be 14cm once trunk cut is performed
• Where you obtained it from- gift from friend
• Cost of stock- free

This tree was grown from cutting in a long poly tube by a friend before it was given to me. I placed this on a rock around a year ago and it has been growing on it in this large pot since then. I have trimmed the branches a few times on this to promote low buds, which has been successful. I know that the rules state this is not allowed but I will be cutting back to the lowest untrained branch either immediately if it is seen in breach of the rules or on the first of April if I am allowed to wait until then. The last picture has a red line indicating where I intend to cut it.

OK, I have just reread the rules and the posts at viewtopic.php?f=146&t=14661&start=120, from Steven in particular. It would seem that this tree is in breach of the rules and I need to cut it before I submit it. So here goes....please take these as the new entry photos for this tree.

Thanks
