Wow, what a fantastic ficus! What species is it, and where was it collected? Also, how long have you been training it?

both are ficus microcarpa known here as chinese banyan. these and others were collected around 2005/6 from a pasture about 3 miles from my house.

Awesome trees! That first ficus has a great trunk and taper.

Can't wait for some updates.
