Aight

Here`s my favorite so far... just cause its my oldest yet and allready have some thickness of the trunk

About one year old.. its a ficus benjamina "too little"

Plan is too keep adding cuttings around the trunk and try to get some aerial roots.. beyond that i have no idea

Here's my favorite, my big ol' microcarpa. Though I've considered selling it numerous times, I think it is, and always will be, my favorite tree:

Why on earth would you sell your favorite tree? You have no bills

Oh I dunno

I guess just because it takes up so much room under the lights, the branches are so leggy. I've been working on getting growth closer to the trunk, but it's a slow process.

You know way more about ficus than I do, but I got a free ficus as a gift the summer when I bought another tree. I cut all the long leggy growth off and in a couple of weeks it budded back out at those points. I thought that was what is so great about those guys.

Nothing Special but my first

Here is a tree that has been in a pot for a little over 5 years. Nothing special to look at, but special to me because it was my first. This tree has been battling fungus issues all year and with our everyday rain and humidity its been hard to control. Plan is to let it grow out this year and perhaps next, relatively untouched until I don't see any evidence of fungus. Parsons juniper. Nursery stock. Age: Youngster

Here's my Ficus Microcarpa - age is unknown, but Martha Meehan told me it's very old at the time of purchase. It was plated and put into a shallow pot a little under a year ago.

It's still got a long way to go, but it'll eventually be a squat little banyan. I'm just wiring for basic shape, but I'm letting it grow wild to thicken the branches.

Yeah, my wife said it reminds her on the old tree in Harry Potter. I like it because it looks a little gnarled.

Mystery Oak progression

I don't know what type of oak this is but I am pleased at how quickly it is filling out. I've had it about two years now.

Live Oak? Though the leaves do look fairly small even for a live oak. Nice tree either way!

Top of my Brazilian Rain Tree while it was sleeping.

leaves close up at night and show you the branch structure quite nicely.
