Re: What do you think of this Chinese Banyan?

I think this is a tree with good potential. After it got used to its new location, I would try some changes; for example I would move the basis of the tree more to the left and the strong aerial root more to the right side of the pot. I think so it would look more massive and balanced out. I`ve made the experience, that when you put the lower part of a ficus tree beneath some kind of clear plastic-foil, the tree starts to grow lots of aerial-roots(when the air is wet enough). Within some months it becomes a strong and tropiclike looking basis. I, personally realy like this kinds of roots.. it only takes some time bevore you can remove the foil.
So I wish you lots of fun with your tree! Thomas
