I like the choice of pot. Maybe the little bit sticking up on the top could be trimmed off? Or are you letting it grow a little bit. Very nice looking!

Thanks, I'm leaving it for a little while in the hope I can speed up the thickening process but will definitely trim it off at some point though I do plan to grow this one a bit taller and will give it another wiring soon as I get some more wire. I also repotted it into a larger training pot yesterday. I will take another photo and upload it.

I'm so glad spring is here. The forum has exploded with posts.
Great job with the ficus...and thanks for the posts.

Thanks Pinkham, I'm glad you're happy about Spring unfortunately its Autumn here in Australia (very sad) but as we dont really have a cold winter its not too much of a bother for me. The Ficus stays outside through Winter though I do bring it in if its raining constantly (it doesnt seem to like too much water when its cold and starts to go a little yellow). I'm very new to the forum and really enjoying the feedback and checking out what everyone else has been up to.
Peace, Buna

i dont like the structure of the trunk wahaha it remined me of a masculin shape haha..pardon me guys. By the way is that the real or the natural structure of the specis of that tree? Try to curve the trunk
