Ficus taiwan, Cascade

Here post the recent work in my ficus. Well not yet decide what pot use. Let me know yours opinion about the correct pot. Thank

Hi I think that your ficus is a Ficus panda. Is it growing on its roots or was it grafted? I think that a cascade style will suit it well.

is that a green island fig

Love the trunk as it looks like solid one piece(as opposed to assembled grafted roots). What about semi-cascade or slanted w/long arm branch? It certainly would look like massive fig if right pot(that mimics massive pot too) :without tape measure trunk looks huge. A green glaze rectangle with no lip or feet. If full cascade then fast taper and pot not too deep. Key is in sub-branch detailing which you have already have going. Fruit looks like miniture crab apple. I am sure Budy or Robert Steven far more qualified to comment. Dustin Mann Ann Arbor Michigan

Hi Dustin

I agree with you, now is a semi-cascade but no decide yet what pot fix better. This Ficus have with me 15 years and start with an informal style, later a cascade more big and finally training the tree about tree year ago as shohin.

Hi Padychitan

Is possible because the ficus have difference common name in others country. But In PR know the tree as ficus taiwan or green emerald with round leave.

Thank you for show me the tree.

The botanical name of this is ficus nana corner, it can grow almost anywhere, full sun or indoors. In the picture it is growing well in a limestone with a water pump installed for a waterfall effect. Pabling
