just a quick pic of a shohin pj fig in development outside the hothouse first time in months. ive got high hopes for this one in a few years. the grafted branch has taken and will be seperated in summer. that branch on the right ive left to thicken. the leaves will reduce fine. height 21cm

Looking great, can see a great tree in development there. How old?

An exciting future for sure!
How long ago was the thread graft done? Did you strip the bark or just push it through?
Regards,
Steven

A nice future for this one for sure. It must be frustrating for you though as they grow so slowly here as compared to where you used to live.

not sure on age as i found this neglected at a nursey with sacifice branches growing out of it.was sick from not been repotted ever i reckon and had to cut it out of the ground. price $10 i think? i think the neglect did me a favour as it left this trunk. the graft is a thread straight through. it will be seperated this summer. one all branches are set i will start work on ramifaction through defoliatinf and pruning. a nice pot down the track not this plastic thing.
