I live in Sydney, directly under the nightly flightpath of the bats travelling from the Royal Botanic Gardens to Centennial Park/Moore Park. They crap everywhere - on roofs, into gutters, into cracks in the footpath, into all the trees, cracks in walls and all over my car. There is no shortage of healthy established young plants for me.
Except for on my car, i can find all sorts of different and interesting ficus growing healthily, some of which have pretty impressive root systems for such a little tree (see a previous post of mine). i've identified 3 different species of fig growing in my neighbourhood. i am sure there are a few more, but i've not noticed them, or am just not interested in them - eg elastica
What i really would like to know is this:
If i plan to have say 2 different species of fig growing in the same pot and the roots/plants come into contact with eachother, does anyone know if the different figs will fuse and help eachother, or will they compete and try to kill eachother?
Regarless of what people say, i wll give it a shot anyway, but i would really love to hear the opinions of this community.
Also, is embarking on a project like this considered as inpure or 'not real bonsai' in the established way of thinking?
I just want to recreate nature in my own urban inner-city sydney neighbourhood, but in a tiny little pot - so in my mind, it's real-world stuff.
cheers all
