Ficus Retusa

Post by Raging Bull »

This was one of the first trees I bought that looked almost like a bonsai. It was more or less just a bush with a fat trunk, but I repotted it and inserted a rock between the two trunks to keep them from fusing into one. I've also lifted it out of the soil a little and try to gradually train it over rocks. I'll find a more attractive rock for it later. I've since thinned it out and started wiring it into shape. I'm trying to keep it fairly small, so when the current growth spurt slows down I'll prune it again.
