For starters, they don't have a real trunk, nor a real nebari.

I will not bang your head against the wall but change my mind:
MOSTLY, a Ficus Ginseng is not a bonsai, and not even suitable for bonsai. Some people however manage to make the most of it.

Ha... Thanks man, you never disappoint, steady as a rock on your believes! I´m cracking a laugh in here with that twist

That said, thank you so much for noticing the improvement of this tree. Certainly it does not look so bad as it used to look 4 and a half years ago. I´ll keep this thread updated every once in a while.

I have a Ficus, my first tree also, it's not a Ginseng (a microcarpa it is) and I am trying to make it look good.
It will take some more years, but I have hope.

Ha, thank you Clicio... Still, why don´t you cheer up and let us see that Ficus of yours? Look at it from the bright side... If you do, then you´ll have records of its progression and here people would speak their minds about it.
