Wow again :tu: You sure have grown some beaut figs. You have made it hard to pick my favourite among them. Can you tell us a bit about your care for them? I notice they have all been in quite large pots and look like they like it.
cheers

Hey Bonsaiboy, Really like this ghost fig, styled as it should be to show the natural growth habit of this wonderful species. Impressive trunk and good ariel roots all go to make this a truely good representation of the majestic fig but in miniature, if you can call that miniature!I like the pot too, compliments the tree. I hate to see ficus bonsai that are styled in the formal sense and I appreciate them all the more when they are as natural a style as this is, well done you have a great tree there and you are inspiring me to learn how to put pictures up on the site so that I can show off some of mine. May I make one small suggestion, from what I can see in the photo, it looks as if it would benefit from being planted toward the other end of the pot, the direction to me seems to be to the right or is that an optical illusion. Love to see more of your trees if this is an indication of your collection. Stay focused, Dark1
