Re: Ficus philipinensis
Thank you John. I'm glad you like it.
the ficus here specially the philipinensis and banyan types easily attached to the host rock...remember the other ficus I attached on the rock which I posted the process here on IBC? that one is already clinging to the rock on its own after 3 months. but I'm not removing the plastic wrap on it yet, maybe on January I will. three to 4 years you can have roots like the one posted above on a rock.
The rock is cemented directly onto the very shallow pot by the way.
regards,
jun

Re: Ficus philipinensis
Jun, I wonder..., perhaps you could also split the trunks to add a little more drama. Couldn't you?

Re: Ficus philipinensis
that could also be done Alexandra if I wanted to... maybe with my other younger ficus.
I got another one I'm growing on a meter high red brick wall with arch...that's more dramatic when the tree and wall got more matured. I'l post it soon.
thanks.

Re: Ficus philipinensis
Nice! it look's much better now. Rather than having the attention on the huge rock and having to look at it from the pot going up to the tree. (Just my observation )
Now its just all in one picture!
(I realized all this just now, when you made changes to the tree. First time i saw it I thought it was looking good already)
Thumbs up for the virt!

Hirow,
thanks.
I will never be satisfied...
every time I look at my trees, something always pops up on my mind. but with some of the ideas, I resisted the temptation of doing it...might kill the tree

Hi Jun,
Superb as usual. Your levels of creativity are really really high!!!! Keep it up.
The rock with the hole not only has the practical benefits of reduced weight but also gives the whole composition an ancient look. This is a bigger benefit. Glad you thought of it.
On reducing the rock to half its size so that 2 men can lug it around instead of 4 is a great starting point. The end result is very appealing.
I am looking forward to your post on the meter high brick wall arch tree.... I am sure it is going to be a feast for the senses.
Regards
Ravi

Re: Ficus philipinensis
Ravi,
thanks for the kind words.
the ficus on the brick wall is doing ok. still very fresh looking though, I want to have a look of an abandoned urban structure with natural growing ficus engulfing the walls. but within the limit of the bonsai context.

jun
Sankofabonsai,

Re: Ficus philipinensis
the tree looks amazing growing over that rock. The rock goes really well with the tree too. Its going to look even better the more the air roots grow in and get thicker, grow bark, etc. I like the lighting you used in the picture too. great all around

You have a very good eye for design and composition. I liked the original design but something bothered me about it -- then I scrolled down. Not only better design but the guts to try it, sometimes that is the difference between good and wow. Thanks for posting.

Hi Jun,
Stop sulking. Come over. You have a lot to offer. I am sure that you have heard about the rear view mirror being smaller.
With very best wishes,
Mohan.
