wow! That's a very clever solution that exploits the rooty nature of ficus. Kind of a "root over tree" form. It's on its way to being something grand.

Ogi,

Very nice progression. The tree below was developed by using the same technique:

As most branches grow simultaneously and in order to fatten some more than the others, I use this technique:

I: Air root development:

II: Planting in separate pot to feed the branch directly:

Rob,

Not all is fun with ficus. Contrary to popular belief, I think ficus is one ofthe most difficult species for bonsai. Although it is one of the most forgiving species in terms of keeping it alive and they are basically indestructible. Their agressive growth nature is always a problem when trying to maintain a bonsai with acceptable proportions. Every now and then, agressive trunk scarring and branch modification is a must.

In 1994, Lao Tze Cheng Cheng Kung had a tree sent to Japan for acceptance the Kokufu Show. Although the quarantine measures were stiff and the tree suffered a bit,it was accepted and featured in the catalogue. Once returned to Taiwan, the ficus grew agressively, to the point that mayor modification was inminent. When comparing the actual image of the tree to the tree displayed at Kokufu, it is difficult to believe that we are talking about the same tree!!! Talk about evolution in bonsai. Ficus are not as easy as people think....

Kind regards,

Jose Luis

Not problems as long as one recognizes they grow fast so every so often chop hard.

to my friend Budi,
Yes, I learned a lot from our taiwanese friends (Specially to Mr. Cheng Cheng Kung). Remember our trip Last Hwa Fong? It was last 2008 I think. It is only now that I am beginning to enjoy what I learned to that trip.
