I collected these two ficus on the first day of autumn. I'm lucky though as we have two more months or grow time remaining.
Basically these were ex topary. Pompom tree's, a curse we do not wish onto any tree. I want to give them both a new life as bonsai.
My first challenge, how to work with that metal bar? It goes all the way through to the root base. I cant pull them out, the only think possible is to cut it out/drill it out. I can cut lower into the trunks into live wood later. For now only dead wood was cut into.
What do others think? How can i work with it and possibly hide it?
