Here we are 4 months later and you can see how this tree has recovered from the root pruning. This tree is just a joy to take care of, and maintain. Sept 2007

Once I got in there to take a look I found that there was a lot to remove. This is a soft wood so I tried to be careful and not expose the bare wood as much as possible. However these cuts were big so I had little choice.

The amazing thing about ficus is the ability to root prune them drastically and they won’t even slow their growth at all. As you can see I took about 80% of the roots.
Don’t let the foliage fool you, it is only changing out last years foliage for new growth for this year. It will fill in just a couple of weeks. Notice how much better it sits in the pot now. This tree has been an absolute joy to grow and develop. In the next few weeks I hope to really capture a great picture of it. May 2007

Well I haven’t been very good at taking pictures of this tree this year. However I was able to obtain a bonsai pot to put it in. Since the tree is so big, I needed to find something of similar dimensions to accommodate it. This one fits the bill. It measures 36″ L X 28″ W X 6″ deep. We expect the tree, soil and pot to have a combined weight of over 500 lbs! Now that’s a bonsai!!!
