I love the names of these figs; "Cutting of a cutting", "Fancy" and "Plain"! Some of mine have names, too - they seem to acquire them as they develop in much the same way as the trunk or root base!
those ficus videos are just PERFECT for me :) Love your ficus trees ! ! looking reaaaally good :) I've just pruned my "almost bonsai" 2 years old cutting of a tiger bark. It pretty much looks like a miniature tree since pruning today :) Cutting was quite fat so I guess I saved time :) Pretty happy with the pruning ! First "shaping" of his life :) Take care and keep it up :)
Enjoyed part 1 so much I just had to watch part 2! Nice styling on that ficus, but I question the lower branch - don't think we would see anything like that in nature, but I could be wrong.
Thanks Pat, I've seen lower spreading branches on a Ficus, usually there are more than one, but not always! I' hoping it develops aerial roots in the future!
Hi Nigel I like the scars and bumps on the trunk I think it adds a lot of character , but I'm sorry I know you like that side branch but it just keeps distracting me and to me it just unbalances the tree which is such a sweet little tree but that is my opinion only. I am looking forward to seeing you do the root work on this tree. cheers for the videos,I always enjoy them thanks again
I think, the front sidebranch will be shortened more than rear one next pruning :) not sure if I'd remove it all, have to agree with Maestro Nigel, it adds something to the tree and makes it look unique..
Awesome videos buddy!!! Keep up the great work!!. Could you please do a video about propagating cutting of different species? I've tried different ficus cutting and they all didn't make it!
My Ficus looks like this species. When I look online I also find Ginseng ficus, and Ficus Retusa, which looks the same. It's confusing. Is there a difference?
Hey Nigel, could you suggest a place here in Canada to find seedlings or cuttings from Microcarpa? Here in Winnipeg, I've seen only Benjamina and even seeds I can't find.
I think the "Cutting of a Cutting's" trunk looks really cool with the scaring, it gives the tree character. Two (green) thumb's up...
Thanks you sir for your inspiring video. I learn about growing bonsai and pruning it in each and every uploaded video.
Two in the same day! What a treat...
Thanks Robert!
You can propagate cuttings effortlessly. One of my favorite trees.
Hi Nigel, I really like this little tree. I agree with you,about the lowest branch. Scars don't look bad on this tree
Woo Hoo.. 54 Thumbs up and 0 thumbs down! I have a 10 yr old ficus and you've helped immensely! Thank you Nigel!
Thank you nagel.
Also a nice tree!
I think it will have a good future!
👌👌👌...!!!
Thanks Sunit!!!
Thanks for this series, Nigel. Really enjoy listening to you talking through your decisions. Very helpful.

Don't gone so far to naming them yet but they are really like individual marvels of nature and not copies of each others :)
Sorry I missed the premiere but glad I could see this interesting tree.
👍👍👍
Thanks Quinn!
This one has such an interesting trunk shape! I'll be sure to track the progression of this one.
👍🌳👍

Hello Nigel if the tree were mine i wouldn`t leave those branche down there but they are options.A hug.
Looked so cool to see the outcome

Missed the live feed. Enjoying a little nightcap. Keep growing. Thanks
Hi Nigel! This tree is looking really awesome. Loving this series so fat!
First steps of fully removing the sidebranch are made ;-)
I think, the front sidebranch will be shortened more than rear one next pruning :) not sure if I'd remove it all, have to agree with Maestro Nigel, it adds something to the tree and makes it look unique..
Lot of big cuts in this one. The tree looks good even with the pruning scars, a look of experience and hardship.
Awesome videos buddy!!! Keep up the great work!!. Could you please do a video about propagating cutting of different species? I've tried different ficus cutting and they all didn't make it!
Why do you leave the first branch?
15:50 I understand now :)
My Ficus looks like this species. When I look online I also find Ginseng ficus, and Ficus Retusa, which looks the same. It's confusing. Is there a difference?
New Nigel video pops up! *gasps*
Thanks K!
