This is a Premna obtusifolia

Thanks so much for posting these pictures, they have to be some of the most fantastic examples i have seen!
I especially like the last one, perfect tree, mindblowing in fact

Jose,
Exquisite examples of Ficus.
Can you tell me why the bark on the last tree looks strange? Looks like spots all over it.
Thanks.

This is an example of great horticulture talent, growing methods, attention to detail and a 360 day growing season.

Ciao.......Leonardo

Ditto to last post about year round(365) training/pinching and attentive horticulture. So many beautiful large specium figs. I would guess their shohin were also amazing. Fascination with the very big and very liitle. Last one my favorite because of detailing sub-branching. Only addition in future for perfect tree would be graft of wider nabari spread for balance to amaxing branches. Thanks so much for posting these. Dustin Mann

I'd have a mouth full of bugs from walking around with it hanging open in awe of those trees.

Thank to all of yours for comments. For me was unique experience never imagined, I have over 900 photo taked but is impossible put here. The tree see there was amazing. The branchs develop on each tree, structure foliage, incredible.

Here post other species of tree. Enjoy

Jose, thanks for posting.. those are really beaultiful... in Brazil we have some.. but not as you show...

My mouth would be full of bugs too from the "oh my God!!!!" What is the third tree in this last post(one before thelight blue pot w/images). The bark looks like Podocarpus but folage pads look like juniper from the pinching? Dustin Mann

hi budi.

Incredible examples of Ficus bonsai. Can you give us any indication of the age in training, and estimated total age of any of these?

Sorry is impossible for me determine the age of any of this tree. Only the owner of the tree know.

Luis,

Some of the ficus bonsai you see in the pictures are 15 to 20 years old. Others are a bit older. Considering that Taiwan bonsai history is only about 50 years old, the advancement on bonsai is astonishing.

By the way, ficus bonsai history in Taiwan dates about 300 years, but NONE of the ficus you see in the pictures is from that period.

Kind regards,
Jose Luis
