Not a lot of growth on this little one but the leaves are staying nice and small. Needs better shape to the foliage though.

Re: [Steven] Ficus rubiginosa 2
Without defoliation, the foliage continues to be very small on this one. Ash visited my garden a couple of weeks ago and asked for a cutting or 2 so I'm leaving those shoots at the top for now.

Re: [Steven] Ficus rubiginosa 2
G'day,
Last month I took the cuttings off the top of this one for Ash (Hi Ash
)
I've rewired some of the branches and now just need the apex to fill back in a bit.

Re: [Steven] Ficus rubiginosa 2
Love the pot, Steven. The tree and pot go so well together. Is it an original hand made one?

Re: [Steven] Ficus rubiginosa 2
G'day,
This one continues to grow and the foliage size is maintained about the size of a fingernail.
The cuttings I took have taken
Regards,
Steven

Re: [Steven] Ficus rubiginosa 2
G'day,
Not a lot to update about this one. I took some cuttings from the top of the tree last year which have all taken and I'll be sending to Ash.
I'm going to repot this one into a bigger pot and let it regain some vigor over the coming growing season. I think I'd like to increase the height and create an extra pad/layer of foliage.
Current height: 145mm
Pot: Erin
Accent: Janet Selby

Re: [Steven] Ficus rubiginosa 2
Very nice effort Steven.
The tree, pot and little chap resting in the shade are all full of character.

After roughly 20 years of growing bonsai, I reckon I might just be starting to get the hang of it...
