Hi guys,
As I promised back in June here are some pics of my newest ficus. Dwarf South African Fig (Ficus Burtt davyi "nana")
1st- as it looked before work. (it was covered with scale, but none now)
2nd- fat little trunk, about 2 1/2 inches wide.
3rd- about 3 weeks after working, about Aug. 1st
4th- as it looks today.
5th- A look from above.
It stands about 10 inches above the pot rim and is about 16 inches wide. I still have much to do, the pot is not the final, it has a reverse taper & no decent surface roots. I planted it deep and scored the trunk & applied rooting hormone where I need to get surface roots. I also managed to get a few cuttings to strike & look forward to having some mame fun with them next year. I really like this tiny leafed variety of ficus.
All comments/suggestions are welcome.
Bob O
