Tiger Bark Ficus Chops? Dave's Bonsai E435

In this episode, I make some big cuts to slow down the upper growth and let the first primary branch thicken up.

Great tutorial. Very easy to follow. You are a great instructor!

[@XaviersBonsaiRetreat]

I love everything about this tree Dave. It looks imposing and rugged and very real. just keep growing it out and chopping it to where you want :)

Daggum, that was a great pruning! Definitely can see where you are going with this one. Diggin the conversation as well.

[@Steves_Backyard_Bonsai]

Great pruning decisions. See you on the next one!

Good to be home Eh, Dave? I have a question, Can Aerial Roots be repositioned at the bottom to ether make a trunk look fatter or planted farther away from the base making the Nabari appear wider?

[@DavesBonsai]

Patricia, I think both can work. If you place them close to the trunk, they will eventually fuse to the main trunk for a spectacularly wide nebari. Sometimes that seems to look sloppy to me, but sometimes it looks pretty amazing.

Nice timing, I want to trim my ficus and this helps. Do you sell the blue Bonsai Acres t-shirts and chopsticks? I looked on the Bonsai Acres website and didn't see them.

[@DavesBonsai]

I don't sell the chopsticks at this time but do have a new website for people to buy T-shirts and a few other odds and ends. Check it out if you'd like. bonsai-acres-merch.myspreadshop.com/ let me know if it works for you. It's brand new.
