Blue thing is some fertilizer by Algoflash.
It's cheap, it's balanced and it's visible!

Hum, and grass seems to like it!

Don't know how your tree will cope with so many figs. __________________ Bonsai Northwest Inc, Melbourne, Australia Bonsai Flora Nursery in Yarraville, Melbourne

It started with 16, but bad handling has reduced it to 14 on two distinct ocasions.
And if there is a Stress Conservation Law, then I hope it helps to reduce the tree's stress, because it has increased mine.

I would probably limit a tree that size to 3 or 4 figs at maturity. Regards, Matt __________________ Want to be a seller on bonsaiAUCTIONS?

Will the tree have less growth? Am I overfertilizing? Last Autumn (when I bought the tree) it had only 3 fruits... (Perhaps they pruned the excess ones(?))
