Port Jackson fig

hi Levuccio

yea its growing well, i will eventually treat the wood, right now i am not phased really, it could even rot some for all im concerned, if that happens i can clean it out and then look at treating it, i was thinking of carving some more not sure yet

Gday Dav

yea we are pretty lucky up here, the figs and some other tropical will pretty much grow all year only slowing down some but not stopping for a month or two depending on whether its a warm autumn/winter
I actually have it in this pot just because i had that pot and was the right size, root development will grow pretty well in this size, what i actually want to do is enourage some airials to cover up the middle bottom section of the trunk

.... Um....

That hurts my head...

My eyes say ROR but my head knows it's trunk. The only thing giving it away is the small shoot down right.

Your creating a very interesting image their mate... That trunk deadset looks like rock. I forgot which tree this was with the stumpy trunk and thought you had done some lil' shonin on top of a rock... Mind flip out when I realized that was a trunk...

[Jamie]

hi mate, yea the trunk is rather awkward, in time i will be grafting to make a proper root spread and get it all to look right, that gap in the middle of the trunk really makes things hard to, so i will have to work out some grafting into there or airial roots

Sorry that may have come across wrong. It was intended as a complement.

It is one thing to shape a tree into form, but when you are able to convincing deceive ones perception of reality, something much more is accomplished than just a simple bonsai.

I think the image you have created is unique I'd run with it. "Tree on mountain top"




Edit- Feel free to add that previous bold quote, to your sigs guys and gals no charge. That was absolute GOLD!!
