Gustavo,
Ficus keeps thickening, and after you put 10 years into something that keeps getting thicker,
you will cry.
We just bought on-line the Chinese Celtis and more African Celtis seeds, two weeks of planting and they
came up.
The Celtis gives you a thick trunk and fine twigs.
The thick trunk in 1 or 2 years. Just use a colander for the growing before placing in the ground.
Shhhhh-------------- it's secret.
No friends in Spain ?
There is a European Celtis.
The African is I believe zone 10.
Here is a miracle. The mother was accidentally dried out in the fridge. The root later threw up a shoot.
After 1 year in the ground/colander and 3 years of healing.
We use the spring flush to start off with, and last year it was allowed to grow 1 m long shoots all over in a larger
bonsai pot.
It has been pruned one week ago and is already sending out new shoots.
Fertiliser is Miracle Gro Lawn fertiliser at 1/3 strength [ 12 N ..... ] into moist soil once a week.
As I get time I will be doing another image, I believe for Stickroot. Hope I got the name correct, he is into
Celtis.
This one is Celtis l. from Louisiana.
Good Day
Anthony
