Here is my latest port Jackson I have potted up. Had been in a grow box for about three years from a cutting.

A promising young tree. Question how big was the cutting, diameter wise? And what time of year did you take it. Thanks

Here is another pj I have been working on for a few years. Same method plant in grow box mega feed and chop a few times I think I put this one on a dinner plate in the grow box and it was originally a little seedling I going growing out of a limestone rock.
This one has been in a bonsai put for about a year.

Hi Mugen very nice fig. Are you sure it's a GI fig ? The leaves look more ovate like it may be a Long Island Fig ? Usually GI figs have perfectly round leaves :2c:

Heya Bougy Fan :) Yeh you are probably right about the id I assumed it was green Island but I did notice the leaves slightly different to other ones I have seen,a bit longer.... I picked it up a few years ago from a landscape supply nursery with no tag on it.
Thanks for the heads up I didn't know there was a long island Fig haha.

Update. Needs some wire and a trim probably going to reduce the branches to induce taper.
