A friend told me that someone was selling some of there bonsai's here on Maui because they could not keep up with them. So I went down to take a look and this is what I bought.

There's something about roots that I like that always attracts me to them.

i like this i can see a great single line tree in this if you were prepared to chop it back what are your plans with this one mate?
Mahalo Jamie,
Don't know yet, for now just letting rest and grow till I have something in mind. It was in sad shape for awhile. Besides single line, do you have any other ideas and/or virts.

It's almost unstyled. At least a thinning of the foliage to reveal the structure a bit. The root is good. It has to be styled to achieve it's full potential.
Howzit Guys,
I went in and made some adjustments. I took off that one branch to the far right. On the other right hand branch I made an wedge excision on the bottom of the branch and used a 6.0mm wire to move it more to the right. On the lower left hand branch I made two wedge excision, one on the bottom of the branch and the second half way up the branch and again used a 6.0mm wire.

Hope you stuck the 'cut offs' in a pot, Tim. They grow easily from cuttings (I have a few on the go at the mo). Very nice score there.

Mahalo Glenda,
Yes I did!! Also, when I root pruned the fig I had some nice root cuttings too go. I think the next go-a-round I'm going to plant it in a little deeper pot.

Mahalo Jamie,
I was thinking about that middle branch but left it to see what you say about it.
