Hi jim,...lots of care and shouting mount it a bit deeper to the soil, going crazy about it,
stay well,regards...Alex/Ogie

Hi Ogie. Beautiful Ficus Microcarpa. Most impressive to me is the knot holes in the branches. They give appearance of 100 yr. old branches. i don't care for ficus with very old trunk then young looking re-developed branches or grafted newer branches. The placement of branching also nice. After growing for vigor, I would suggest some chasing back outer branches for ramification. I am a Ficus nut too. Few figs posted @Bonsai Vault.com. under Tropical greenhouse. Keep posting.

Alex,

if you are looking for suggestions - soften the triangle more.

Otherwise visually very satisfying.
Thanks for showing.

Probably a 'noobish' question but what does it mean to "soften the triangle more"?

I'm guessing you are referring to the triangle in the foliage/apex correct?

Jesse,
