Ficus Benjamina progress 11-2005 till now

Hi

This is a Ficus Benjamina which was first wired in november 2005. At the time it was 50 cm high, with a trunkthickness of about 0,8 cm. I wanted to wire it to get it more compact. The style I was looking for was Nejikan or twisted trunk. Its not quit clear, but it can also be the Bankan style. After first wiring the tree was 35 cm high.
It was repotted a few times in and out pots made by Morea Pubben.

In the photoseries you'll see the progress till today, where the tree is twisted even more and is now 20 cm high.

Hope you all like it,

Wessel
