[Tutorial] How to Develop Dynamic Figs Quickly
HOW TO DEVELOP DYNAMIC FIGS QUICKLY
Have you ever wanted to know how to develop those fat trunked figs with the wide bases and sweet root spread just like you have drooled over?
Well thanks to Pup, D. Susan and AusBonsai.com you can create them in as little as 3 to 5 years! Just follow this step by step guide
This method can be easily adapted to elms, hawthorn, olives, pines etc - only the time frame may change.
Now go and get busy and don't forget to post your accomplishments here in this thread.
Regards,
Steven

Re: [Tutorial] How to Develop Dynamic Figs Quickly
How timely is this thread? I bought home a Willow Leaf Fig today because it wasn't doing as well as I thought it should be where it was.
Guess what I am doing tomorrow?

Re: [Tutorial] How to Develop Dynamic Figs Quickly
Thats just what I needed...great job.
Any chance you could put it in a pdf format or something so people can print it out. Because when I tried printing it out it would just be blurry because
the pictures are too small. Or maybe put bigger pictures so we can print it out since its such a great thing
Edit: Dont worry I figured it out...it was my mistake, it prints nice and big now Cheers

Re: [Tutorial] How to Develop Dynamic Figs Quickly
Btw, I think it would be a great idea to add a "Tutorial" section, this way you could find all great tutorials in one place.
What do you guys think?

Re: [Tutorial] How to Develop Dynamic Figs Quickly
Hi Steven,
great post.
I assume this would work with larger fig cuttings, therefore shortening the time for trunk thickening?
