I stopped by my favorite local herb farm today. I've been wanting a fig for a while now--I had one about 15 years ago that I didn't take very good care of--and while I was there I picked up a nice looking olive and a dwarf kumquat.
Now to decide what to do with them. My instinct is to give the olive and kumquat a season or two in larger pots to let the trunks thicken.
For the fig, I'm trying to decide if I should chop the trunk down and take the top as a cutting, using the cutting for bonsai and letting the bottom get large, or vice versa. It would be cool to have a full-size fig kicking around.
What are your thoughts, more experienced bonsai-keepers?
