Had already brought the fruit home so just had to sow some

Undoubtedly I'll pot these up and grow them on for a while.
Figs anyone?
I understand the possibilities because I have already been there a number of times but the fused monster trunk figs may be few and far between. I've intentionally grown some great fused trunk figs but the excess seedlings just left to their own devices only ever created a mess of trunks and roots with no structure or harmony. They all had to be thrown out after many years of waiting for them to become something better.Worst cast scenario just leave them in the pot and they will continue to grow big there. You may even end up with a big fused monster trunk fig.
Thanks R3. I can always tell myself - and anyone else - that you said it was alright......It's only stupidity if you don't realise the path you are taking will lead to issues further down the track ... otherwise it's courage
Here's another one ... imported from Vietnam to the Crespi Bonsai Museum... hang in there Neil. If you look at the world's money flow these days (and read some stuff from Yuval Noah Harari)... it seems some folk are on a mission to solve the human condition called 'death'. You may yet live to 1000 and see the majesty of your seeds!melbrackstone wrote: ↑December 28th, 2019, 3:15 pm I wonder how long these trees take....and do you think you'd be able to grow something like these
All of these were posted by a Vietnamese photo collator/collector, who never attributes the sources, but from what I've seen, I suspect they're all from Chinese sites that also never produce attribution. Never-the-less, they're inspiring to view, I reckon.
That's how I've done the few I've attempted too, I'm just considering that if I'd like those sinuous curves the Chinese trees have, I'd need to be doing a bit more when they're young and bendy..Actually, neither of mine were wired or even screwed together. I simply wrapped the roots of one seedling around the second seedling. Most of you will be aware of what happens when a fig gets its roots round another tree. It rarely gets away. In the case of them both being the same species the trunks and/or roots eventually merge together. No need to remove bark though that might speed up the process a bit, just allow some time.
