some of my larger figs

Post by wattynine »

I have listed below here some Port Jacksons (?) not sure If I ma correct, seems to be a courser bark, any suggestions? Moreton Bay perhaps?

before
Port Jackson (?)

after
need to bring the crown over and develop it a lot more, stumps a bit ordinary but it's what I got.

after
big leaves don't really suit this size, can get them down with work but time I don't have yet, in the meantime I work on the trunk, roots and branches.

after
had some good branches up high but in the end I thought them to be too strong so a new crown will be developed.

Some good stock coming along here!
I particularly like your bridge Yamadori and the Virens.

Cheers!
One of the fabulous things about growing bonsai is as you get old and decrepit your trees get old and beautiful

Your information, I have to say, and then it turns out that it is true.

apart from the fig in photos 7 and 10 (same tree) all of these have been freely re-homed.
The fig kept has now been put into a larger pot and will be reposted at a later date.
