I'd love to see photos of those taken "head on". Incredible trees!

those shots of the naked branches are spectacular Sam. I cannot even wrap my brain around how dense the ramification is and what it must take to defoliate and then tend to pruning what needs to be maintained on them. Amazing work. Thank you for sharing these images.

Excellent! Do you keep track of how long it takes you to defoliate one of these?

Very nice. Your trees are among the best posted here. Something we should be aspiring for (I know I am). :)

Very interesting! Sam, forgive my questions I'm a beginner; is this an annual process for you with the ficus?

I would love as well a pic of the front at the view that would be seen to display the tree.
