Schefflera#1

I have grown this from a simple straight cutting.

2013.

Today before defoliation.

After.

Nice development so far. What is your plan for overall size and style, sumo?

Thanks! Thinking a mix of Sumo and Banyan style, not sure on final size yet but will try and keep the tree itself rather small since the steams of the leaves are so long and add alot to size when in leaf.

I have found that its rather pointless to wire Scheffleras since one cant really make any good bends in the branches without them snapping, so its all clip and grow here, it takes time but the result is actually not that bad for something that is considered by many to be no good material for Bonsai.

I am very pleased with the progress so far, will update when its time for a repot in couple of months.
