ficus natalensis

I have begun to work on some of my figs. This smaller ficus natalensis will have to re-potted in the spring. One of the reasons I like tropical bonsai is that they can be displayed in our home (in western New York) throughout the year. The small walnut stand is one of the stands that I make. Enjoy Hank



One of my larger ficus natalensis on an oak stand which I have made. The tree needs another year or so to improve the refinement and to reduce the size of the leaves

Hank,,you have a very good looking tree here...i really like the trunk and how it taperes up like it does..a new type of ficus to me..it looks almost like a boxwood..nice tree and good work....take care john

Great tree Hank!! I've been to a demo of yours at Mennies as im in the buffalo bonsai club, Love your ficus's also.

Tim - Stands like this I make in different sizes, from very small to very large. With the present selection I can display most of my trees. Hank

Nice tree, but I think this stand is too small for this pot.

The second tree is very nice also...your stands are professional and i know you have to spenda long time makeing them..like i said the ficus are new to me..do you grow them from seedlings????? take care john

The natalinsis is probably grown from a cutting. Very few figs are grown from seeds.
I have a much larger one in my greenhouse but it is suffering from the cold still and has lost all leaves.

Thanks to everyone for the comments.

Most figs are indeed propagated from cuttings.
