Re: Port Jackson
John,
I love both your trees. I am not personally in love with the rock.

Re: Port Jackson
I love your figs, and I love the rock too. I have one like it - I was told it came from the Woomera Rocket Range, but couldn't swear to it. Bought it at a tropical fish shop (when I was into fish and not into bonsai).

Re: Port Jackson
Hi Glenda, if your rock came from Woomera rocket rang it will glow in the dark

Re: Port Jackson
Very nice designed figs John, I'm with Jerry on the rock tho, I find it distracts me away from your beautiful fig.

Re: Port Jackson
Very nice figs John you should be proud!
Has defoliation been a regular part of training your top fig? Love its shape.

Re: Port Jackson
Two very nice trees but I am with Jerry and do not like the rock.It is a good rock but does not complement the tree.
