My Ficus trees

[ihaveaspaceship]

Ficus Retusa
Pictured bellow the day I acquired about a year and a half ago. One of the first few trees I started with.
I call it the penis tree given its rather phallic looking scars, which I decided was going to be the back of the tree no matter what!


Here is the front as of today.


360 shot!


Willow Ficus
Picked this up a year and a half ago at Kimura Bonsai. Its a fun little tree to work on and very hardy.
Hasn't acted up on me much and I've been a noob with her here and there.

Woah- those 3D shots are making me dizzy. I’ve had some rum.
I think you have done a nice job on both of them.
I might remove the lowest shoot on the willow but other than that they look great. Very healthy too. Nice work.
Edit - matter of fact I like them a lot.

LOL! I thought the same thing [minus the rum, add beer (coffee stout of course)].

Very good job on the first ficus. You’ve made a nice apex where there wasn’t one before.

I haven’t had any rum, and it’s making me dizzy too. Maybe if the picture rotation were a little slower it would help with the dizziness factor.

Yeah that branch is just growing out for now. I wasn't sure if I was going to keep it for thickening the trunk, or develop it into a branch.

I would like to see the angle of the tree when it’s not spinning so fast. How tall is it? - the willow leaf.

Here is a current still shot of my little willow. I think its around 7" tall from the top of the pot. The leafs reach about 1" long.
Love this little tree.


Picked up another little willow ficus and chopped/repot a bit ago.

 

[ihaveaspaceship]

These trees grow a lot faster then my pines/jinipers. So much fun to play with..
A little update on my phalic ficus. Photo on the right take a week or so ago, the one on the left was when I received it early '17.

Nice work! Tropicals are fun aren't they?

Very much so. Super hearty and develop decently quick.

May update, defoliated trees are starting to push out. Beer for scale.

At least one of us loves this heat. A little update on my willow.

curious on the development on this one

 

[Forrestford]

Nice work! My favorite is the defoliated tiger bark 1.
I’ve been reluctant to do a full defoliation on my benjaminas. Any dieback?

 

[amcoffeegirl]

I love the color of the pot!
I can’t see the tree. Time to snip some openings to view the trunk.
