Ficus concina

Hi IBC friends.

I defoliated and wired one of my Ficus concina (red ficus) today...leaves are going to be lovely with red coloration in just seven to ten days from today and will stay red for more than two weeks. I'll share it again with you when the nice leaves pops out.

Jun,
I love the red leaves on this Ficus variety.
Please post when it leafs out.

Hey Jun,

while the red leaves are worth the wait, the tree in its present form has a charm of its own. You seem to have an unending collection of "Lord of the Rings" trees The odd shaped trunk is what gives the tree the LOTR look.

John Thanks.
yes, this tree was chopped. Ficus here are considered "pest" if left uncontrolled. some people will even pay you to get rid of the tree.
