Ficus with 5 feet tail

11 years ago

One of my ficus which was planted with a small branch taken from a ficus tree. Over the years it has been train and now in this shape. The roots have came out of the bottom hole and is about 5 feet long. I have no intention to repot it. Last night the pot was broken by my dog ( chasing after a rat ) and now I am going to a nursery to buy a new pot.

Are you serious about bonsai or just some kind of freak show?

You are right! I am not a serious bonsai player. In my earlier post, I have mention that I have not receive any formal training on bonsai and I just like to play with the plant to what I fancy.
I would not like to waste any more of your precious space and I would thank you for this last posting.
Bye
