Kengai Ficus
Now I've sucsess to posted my pic. This is the first time I joint to this bonsai forum, I would like to show my Kengai ficus.
I got it two years ago from a friend, he planted in the plastic pot in some few years until its root reached ground deep enough. Its height about 2 metres.
In my home yard I cutted its height also long root, change with new soil. and I found a kengai shape then I planted in a small drum, healthy grown. In the last December This Ficus start to plant in a new pot with new soil. Still not satisfied me, really in progress. I hope in a few years in the future my ficus tree will become a good bonsai. To all the friend, please give me some idea, critique or anything to make this tree become more beautiful, thanks

Re: Kengai Ficus
Your English is great. Thanks for posting.
You can defoliate this tree for a better look at the structure. At this point I think you have too much foliage and too many branches.

Re: Kengai Ficus
Thanks Billy for your idea, as I said before, I am still not satisfiend with this shape, so I need any idea, critique and comment from any person.
In October last year I have prunned this tree, but here in tropical all plant become green so fast especially in rainy season like now. Actually its branches must be remove some in next few month.
This one of my ficus I just prunned last week

Re: Kengai Ficus
I think your Kengai Ficus isa nice looking tree. If you wire the lowest hanging branch to match the direction of the "One right above it" you would add more movement to the tree. You might need a more shallow pot for this though.
I'll try to create an image for you.

Re: Kengai Ficus
I created an image of a tree in a pot, but when I sent my message, the image did not work.
Anyway, consider bending the lowest (large) branch towards the right; in the direction of the branch above it.

Re: Kengai Ficus
I am with Will on his suggested branch reduction. The result would be very pleasing. Do give it active consideration...

Re: Kengai Ficus
You could have a very nice cutting by taking off that lower branch. I would do this in late Spring or Summer.
