Ficus in training

Post by Sarg »

Alrighty, having just moved to melbourne i brought my last two trees with me which are two ficus... i'm sure they are going to love melbournes climate :whistle:

The one in the pot i have had for around 7 years i think, well since i've been married whenever that was i guess time flies when your having fun :lost: :lol: As you can see its been a bit neglected the last few years (children) and needs some ramification work. I have some of the branches were i want them and i lost a few branches in transport (furniture removalists not bonsai movers) which are starting to reshoot. I think it was planted around 91, i lost the tag.

The second i brought in training probably around 5 years ago no idea how old it is. They have started growing and sending out new shoots in the last month so i have mostly taken it back to a bare trunk now and i'll see what shoots i get out of it. I dont like the apex so i'll see what pops out. I have to get some new tools as i hadnt touched mine in years and i grabed them out of the shed when we were packing and the shed had got a bit of water in it during the rain last jan in brisbane and were all rusted. Once i get a set of concaves i'll work on the stubs.
