AusBonsai

I hate figs.... dont get me wrong they make great bonsai but I dont really want them in my collection... so naturally I keep finding them everywhere. This lot are most likely PJ's and were found growing out of the rotted cores of eucs, sown by birds from the street & park trees around Newcastle. I have no idea how many seedlings are in this clump but they were found growing all together in a euc hollow, it was split in half then recombined to give a more even spread to the trunks then bound in jute. I am thinking banyan using the individual trunks to form the branching, for now its been replanted as is. These 2 grew out of the same hollow plus a 3rd that had died (choked out), they have been replanted together for a twin trunk (maybe). No ideas for the last 2 yet but no matter, they have all been planted in the ground, hopefully with plenty of growth & regular butchery they might make something in a few years time.

Hi MattA , Figs up there are like pines down here .Everywhere you look they are sprouting , sooner or later you appreciate them , then the obsession kicks in seeking the ultimate find .I know i'm still looking for the ultimate Yamadori pine and i look at 10's of thousands a year. Nice to see these progress into something different .Cheers Alpine

Im interested in buying long lanky saplings....
