Ficus Root Fusion Bonsai Update

Tree species : Ficus Religiosa / Peepal Tree
Root cutting taken on : May end, 2018

This is Part 4. Read Part 1 , Part 2 & Part 3

My first root fusion project is onto a good start & has grown vigorously in the last 1.5 months. This video shows defoliation and spreading of the branches for better light penetration, to help the new & tender branches to grow stronger. Everyday, i rotated the pot so that all sides get good growth.

Root Fusion Bonsai

Tree species : Ficus Religiosa / Peepal Tree
Seed sprouted around : mid Sept, 2015

This is Part 3. Read Part 1 & Part 2

Here I show an update on my 2.5 yrs old ficus mini bonsai. The water roots have grown thick and have partly fused together. They were cut off and planted as a root cutting. The fused roots will now become a fused trunk. This is a unique specimen in my collection and, I have not seen anything like this on the internet. I have seen trunk fusion projects but this is different.
