Sooo .. right you are .. I vote on stickin it in the ground and let her rip .. :cool: this is about the same size.. There is a dwf variety which works for smaller bonsai.

tropical interest I had some interest in the Tropicals .. not sure after last nites frost... if I want to ship just yet... I've uploaded some to give an idea of what I have to sell.. Warmer weather will make it easier to get good shots of these and others. I have some Tropical mimosa...

I have been practicing the art of Bonsai over 25 yrs and teaching more than 20 yrs. I have trees available for sale. Sizes range from small to very large. A good selection in shallow containers. Most have been styled and many have been worked for years. There is a wide variety of styles and...

I feel Bill S hit on a key issue.. light.. a few weeks before you move it indoors move it to a shady area. This may help it handle the light difference without droppin as many. I agree ficus and many other tropicals do a leaf drop naturally.. if the tips are healthy it's usually fine.

Great thread.. lots of good info. I grow schefflera and love working with them. Mine are banyon style, two dwarf variety and one larger a standard(was collected from a hedge in S.Fl.) I use the clip(chop) and grow. i let mine grow wild and then cut back hard. Temps 60F and lower slow the...

Staying with the twin trunk upright style is a good option.. you may consider the banyon. It may take some time to grow a larger branch on the left ..

Looking great Eric... a happy camper for sure... like the pot.

Hey mon... just dropped by to see if you were still active here. I've been gone for some time but semi-retired now and have more time to participate at Bnut.. Hope all is going well for ya.. talk to you soon.

OK ... smushed then .. some more pics.

Ryan .. perhaps fused may have been the wrong terminogy.. it might be a branch that grew from the trunk and the roots sprouted off of the branch close to the trunk.. anywho.. over time they will grow around one another, ie: roots, branches and trunks causing a situation close enuf to refer to...

Hi Jessf .. good progress on your sheff.. i feel removing the lower branch is the way to go.. .. hard to tell how the lower branch has fused to the main trunk.. you may be able to pull it off and get the roots attached to it also.. this will save air layer time and give you a good head...

Hi Ryan.. not really sure about the botanical on it.. like many I pretty much ignored it as a viable species due to the tubers.. :) ill have to check with more educated then myself. Fallen Reality .. you're welcome. I like the unknown.. looked like the green island somewhat when I first saw...

.. well , first thread started here at Bnut and been lurkin to long.. ;o)> I love tropicals and tropical places. I mentioned these trees in another's thread, Fallen Reality "Ficus retusa 'gensing'", and I felt a show was appropiate. The 1st is one I have been growing for about 5 yrs...

My point concerning the pic quality was that it was difficult for me to see what you were starting with... It appears that it was allowed to grow and then the top chopped shortly before selling. I am working one which hasn't been lopped and I'm allowing low branches to help with a more...

Nice planting... it's a ficus wiandi .. I call them carrot ficus. Both branches and larger roots are brittle.

Not sure where you are attempting to proceed with this ficus.. 1st pic is a bush and the second is a blurrr . Back up a lil when taking your picture. The ginseng ficus is a hardy plant and will handle about anything you might do to it. No worry with the yellowing leaves.. take them off...

HeY Steve.. Congradulations !!! Well to be quite honest I haven't got out much, Bonsai related.. spent last year refining my collection. my plans were to return to the Beach but a time warp has caught me and it looks like i will be moving to south Fl .. south central .. more toward the west...

James ... I'd check the OIL-Dri with a soak check.. put some in a cup of water and see if it disolves to a mush.. usually in a week or two.. if not mushy it may work for you. I've seen it turn to slime years ago.. I went back to turface and lava rock 1/4 in.

Looking good.. nice ramification going on. :)

Roelex.. sorry to hear this very sad news.. the up side is that now you know how to work a Benj Ficus.. ! You did good work and will be easier to duplicate the results on another specimen.. It is what it Is.. :(
