Benjamina, from patio to bonsai
Posted: December 29th, 2011, 1:19 am
This Benji was your typical standard (lollypop) ficus sitting on a patio, neglected, root bound and a lot of die back. It was given to me in November 2009. Not a pritty sight. I removed the top leaving only a 25cm trunk, cut off most of the roots and re-potted it. Then waited to see the out come. The 1st, 2 photos were taken 2/8/2010.
the next photo was taken on 23/12/2011 after a trim we are very pleased with the leaf reduction as you can see in this photo,
the lrage leaf is from the top (cutting) of the orriginal tree. Chris
