Even More Bonsai-Ginger Ficus


Here we have before and after pictures of the newer Bonsai. As it is a very healthy tree, I felt confident in reducing the leaves rather aggressively. These photos were taken two weeks ago, and we already have several new stems growing directly from the trunk and full new leaves on the limbs.

The Ginger Root Ficus, June 2010

The Tiger Bark Ficus is also responding well to this summer's leaf and limb reduction. Both bonsais are misted several times a day and receive light waterings in the morning. With continued proper training, I hope to see some nice structure forming by the end of this summer.
