Imperial Masterpiece
Hiya Guys and Gals,
This is one of our native Ficus types.
Lives on concrete walls, gutters, old houses. on trees and so on.
The first was our second major attempt to understand this tree. The first attempts
ended up with massive trunks and very large cuts.
Have a few more to show, but they have to cleaned,
Some have self defoliated for the year, and will be seen in leaf.
Others as just branchlets etc.
Good Day
Anthony
[1] How to control the rapid thickening, and understand the soil. As you can see they
don't need much soil and it is less than 1/4 by volume organic to 3/4, 5 mm silica based
gravel. Some are also in aquarium rounded gravel from China.
All found as seedlings, whips. With this one more time will be spent on ramification.
And keeping them from over thickening.
No real styles, just shapes.
[2] Thought it would fun to just have a tall one
[ 3] Found as two growing together
[4] This one is growing in hand rolled 8 mm earthen ware clay balls [ porous ]
[5] Yes we did try to get the same pot for each tree.
