Hi Everyone,
Thought I'd share a photo of a little Port Jackson Fig that had its first shape and style this week.
The trunk line has been created by the cut and grow method and whilst I mentioned that it had its first style this week, I do throw a bit of wire on designated branches through the growing process.
Anyway here it is straight from nursery stock to you.
Note the top rear branch is a bit fine to wire just yet and even though it does not show in the photo, I have cut the apex just above a new bud.
cheers
Dave

Hi Dave,
I'm impressed by this fig and your other too. Does this one have a back branch?

Hi,
No unfortunately no low rear branch yet, but confident one will shoot there now that I've cut it back hard.
cheers

Re: A New Fig
Thats awesome Dave you have inspired me to do that to my pj figs and to have a go with the rest of them.
If you have anymore of figs that are styled like that would you be able to post them.
Thanks
