Sapling
Thought i would post some pictures of my biggest ficus. Picked this tree up at Miami bonsai 5-6 years ago. Shipped it home on a plane(very stressful..) and have enjoyed it ever since.
This tree was rapid grown overseas as a ficus microcarpa, and green island ficus was grafted on everywhere after the "chop". occasionally the tree sprouts out microcarpa leaves(which can get quite large). i do let them go at times, and have often approach grafted them across old wounds.
this is one of my favorite trees! Currently it looks like this:
i have hacked, chopped, defoliated, severely bent branches, grafted. you name it. this tree is happy, and has never skipped a beat! here are my long term plans:
been working on the branch ramification of the upper portion of the tree for quite some time. here is a pic from the last upper defoliation:
the lower parts of the tree are in need of some serious growth. i have taken steps to speed this up.. here is a pic of the tree when i bought it in florida. very tall and shagy!!:
im pretty sure the tree came from a farm like this overseas.. the pic was borrowed from another website:
