- I've let my Ficus microcarpa grow all summer and it is ready to be pruned!
This tree was grown from a seed 29 years ago and was my very first bonsai.

I love ficus. These trees offer so many possibilities of creation
This ficus has really made progress with this trimming. It looks like many that I see in landscapes here in southeast Florida. I especially like the banyon root that is growing on your tree. Thanks so much for sharing your videos. Your manner of talking us through your decisions with your bonsai indicate to me (a retired teacher) that you are a great teacher. Know that you will get those structural problems with this pot resolved.
That first mature Ficus picture is down the road from me in the suburb of Northbridge in
City of Perth
Western Australia.
Always grateful for your videos and your love of mindfully working with trees.
Hi from Australia.
Very cool, it must be amazing to see the tree in real life!
Fantastic job. Very nice ficus. Thanks for sharing. Greetings and until the next video👍😄
Love that tree, Looks like the years of work are paying off.
Every time you work on this tree, I start to say "wow, all of this from seed!"
I love the way you show inspirations/examples of your ideas for a tree via pictures of full size trees. It's very helpful to understand your vision for a tree, more clearly.
Nigel, That tree really shows how committed you are to the care of all of your beautiful little trees. Thank you for sharing with us.
Very lovely and decent one, looking like very balanced and properly after pruning 🥰🥰
Sorry to hear about the structural problems in the pot. I thought I saw a slight bend in the middle at the start of the video but then I figured it must be from the camera. I hope you can reinforce it, the tree seems to be liking it a lot. :)
I have been waiting for this video since the repotting part just to see how will the moss complete the overall appearance and it's progressing nicely. Please put those four pillars back as soon as possible becouse they make this pot even more special. I think that this ficus has become my favourite tree from your collection :)
Wow that’s one really vigorous tree.
Great video. I love your bonsai haircut as well.
Very informative. Tree is looking healthy. Nice upload. 👍🏻Thank you.
Thanks, Nigel!
That's a really beautiful tree
Fantastic tree! 👍 👍
There’s an upright branch directly above that large aerial root on the right which is the same thickness and in my opinion distracts from the silhouette when viewed from the front. That tree has really come a long way. Keep growing. Thanks
It's so inspiring to see the progress on the very first tree you grew from a seed... I'm starting to plant my own seeds for new bonsai this year, and it really gives me a sense of hope for a future for my own trees!
Its very nice to see a ficus grow. They grow so fast, which really gives you a good look of its progress. Great video again nigel! Can’t wait for the next one. (:
I liked that use of radius templates to work on canopy, excellent job 👌
The OG!
The second reference photo you showed of a big ficus is from my home town! It's growing right outside the Santa Barbara train station and is thought to be the largest Ficus macrophylla in the US, it's been growing there since 1876. I've seen the tree a lot and I always wanted to climb it when I was little but couldn't since the whole area under the canopy line is chained off to protect the roots. Very cool to see a tree I've actually visited show up as inspiration for such a beautiful bonsai!
That is nice to have such a tree close by!
Wow, great pruning job Nigel! 👍 Great idea using the radius template. From now on I will refer to that as "The Nigel Saunders Radius Technique. (Patent pending)". Ha ha. 🤪
Fell off my chair when I saw you’d commented on Russell Brands channel 😍 Great comment too. It was the next vid I watched after this one. I love this tree but always thought the back looked more interesting. I might feel differently if I saw it in the flesh.
Beautiful ficus, growing it from a cutting must be fun. Just to enjoy al the developing stages. I have some cuttings going myself(dawn redwood and azalea), and hope to achieve something simulator in the next 10,20, … years.Always nice to hear your thoughts behind your handlings . Thanks 🙏🏻
I love that tree. Hoping mine grows similar! No aerial roots yet on mine.
Brilliant work the overall look is really good!! also great thoughts for the structural fix on the pot, should be the right answer.
Your first bonsai is still alive. I'm jealous.
I'm on like number 29, and I still only have like 6 trees total. 😆
I am a new subscriber here , and I want to ask what are the uses and health benefits of this tree. Because so much care is given to the tree.
Bummer about the dream pot not working out as planned. I wonder if you’ll you have to replace it to be safe.
Great video, thank you :)
Where is the bonsai pot from?
It looks really strong, wants it too.. ;)
@Nigel: Ever tried Walter Pall's method of just using a hedge pruner for general shape pruning? This seems to work quite well for naturalistic bonsai styles.
Where do you get such beautiful moss
I noticed you said you’ll defoliate in the winter. Isn’t that a bad time with much lower light levels?
Always wondered if the was a template to get the dome shapes
So regarding what you said about the front of the tree, do you make sure to place all your trees a certain way to catch the right sunlight? I’ve been rotating mine and now I’m wondering if I shouldn’t be.
Nice video...
Thanks Tarman!
What type of moss are you using? Everything looks great!
The ficus has a very unique roots. Do you think some of the roots that are quite high on the trunk could be removed to created a more "natural tree"-like appearance?
I think the truck will thicken and the roots will fuse and smooth out over time, it just needs more years!!
yeah there better be 0 dislikes
Nigel it looks great. How old is this tree ?
It's in it's 29th year!
foist
NOICE!!
Your choice ... I hope be the last :p

Lots of work on the tree this year, it is looking really good!
