This is my Ginseng Ficus:

I had to buy it a few months ago - to have it for the curiosity it is, you know :tounge: !

But know I have two........okay, four of them - a lady gave me her's also because it lost all of it's leaves and I bought another two :palm: .

Know I am thinking of air layering this one:

What do you guys think?

Now I will never get that picture out of my head :shock: .

Maybe I must place the tree with my other Ent (Lord of the rings) trees!

Luckily I have up to October to decide because it is too late in the season now to work on this Ficus it needs to recover from the defoliation to gain some strength for winter.

Thanks for all the replies. I will use this thread to post the others soon.
