Benjamina "contorta " root over and through rock.

Post by mugen »

Have been working on this tree for four years. Hunted this rock down near the cost lots of spiky limestone around fremantle coogee area. Kind of reminded me of a tsunami. Put the ficus through the hole in the rock and tied the roots in place and plonked the both of them in a large pot and grew in for a year before putting large bonsai pot.
Repotted this spring started kicking on again after sulking for a bit due for a haircut soon.
