Ficus work day

Hi IBC.

today I worked on some of my ficus trees.
I would like to share the trees with you.


Ficus 1. Ficus planted on rock (Ficus microcarpa)...I'm developing this tree for future penjing project



Ficus 2. Another (Ficus microcarpa)...in the branch refinement stage...my plan for this tree...well...make it a bonsai tree. hehehe.






Ficus 3. Rock clasping (Ficus Philippinensis)...this tree was posted here too. used to be tall rock without hole. Just removed the wire and guy wire today





Ficus 4. Root over rock (Ficus Phil) ...This tree was one of my earliest posted work here in IBC (to rock or not to rock). it used to be planted in a tall pot. the roots are holding well now.

Jun,
I really like Ficus 3. Rock clasping.
The trunk rises so naturally from the roots and rock, and the clasping radial roots are quite unique looking.

Jerry, Bigbabol, Jon and John


Thank you guys!

nice jun

Hi Jun,
I like you trees. I think my favorite is the tall cascading Ficus. How do you distinguish between Penjing and other bonsai? I am curious. For instance, you stated on the first tree "for a Penjing project"; what do you have in mind? Thanks!
Todd

I like ficus2 the most, it has the making of a classic bonsai tree. how long has it been in training? months after our exchange of contact info, i still have to find time to visit your garden...but soon Jun!

Excellent trees Jun. Well with you its always exceptional trees....

My favourite was the last tree, the tall root over rock. I had seen similar compositions before but not with a ficus. Too good.

Hi Jun
Nice ficus trees. When you defoliate the ficus do you leave the petiole or not?

And by the way, HAPPY BIRTHDAY.

Cosmos

Hi Jun! Great selection of trees! I especially like Ficus #3, the one clinging to rock, which makes a very nice composition. And Happy B-day too! Best regards!

Thank you guys! I'm glad you like the trees.

and thanks a lot for the birthday greetings!!! one more year and I'll be 40 (an old man) ...and I have to plan my retirement. hehehe.

Hi Todd.
I should say for a broader penjing project. more like a landscape composition.

Hi Jun
When you defoliate the ficus do you leave a piece of the petiole or not?

Hi Cosmos.

sometimes I do, Sometimes I don't. Depending on the stage of the tree's development and health.
