Source: home cutting in 2012
Cost: $0
Height: ~25cm
Length/spread: ~ 40cm
Initial thought: Slow growing species but has small leaf and fruits that could be suitable for shohin training.

That's got great potential. How do you get such dense roots?

Hi Akhi.
It's a cutting so roots are often fine and dense. I put the pot in another pot to facilitate/encourage root spread for root over rock planting.
I hope it develops top foliage in time.

Hi DK,
Happy holidays. I am amazed at how many little figs you had on the before trimming. Agree very slow to grow had mine about six years now never had any figs on it. Can you advise your feeding and is it in sun or semi shade?
Cheers
