root over rock cascade fig

[wattynine]

Just a single picture on this one, re-potted (same pot) and restyled 3-4 mths ago, just doing my catalogue, so you get to see it as well.
Did this one from a sprout in a brick wall, wrapped over a rock from out near Mt Isa, covered it all up in a training pot and slowly bought it up and up and up, the base is 8 or so years old, you would laugh if you saw what this looked like before, maybe I should be glad the virus took out my previous progression photos?

I love it when I see people doing something a little different. It has inspired me to do this to a fig of mine. Well done.

Hello Watty,

I love it as well. You have posted some nice figs lately. Do you have many?

I have the older sibling to the above ROR Ficus, removed from a masonry crack and planted over a rock, circa 1998. I looked at mine this morning, the figs all but swallowed the rock. New to this arena, will this happen to yours as well? Or did i lose the plot / rock years ago?

Love this! Can we get a progression over the years? Pretty please?

Thanks for the encouragement guys,
Theo, thanks for the comments.
Small trees, if I have inspired, my job is done, it is what bonsai is about. Thanks.
Ken, as to your fig quantity question, YES, I have too many. I have figs that also have nearly swallowed their rock.
In this instance being kept in a small pot, mate it will take a LONG time, perhaps for the next owner should I be graced to hand this on.
And Ulf, I have many progressions, but due to a virus (crypto locker v3) about 18 months or so ago lost a whole hard drive so some went history, sorry.
