[KCPOOLE] Ficus Celebense

Update pics from the weekend.

The approach graft is developing well, but have no idea if it will have taken by comp end so
Apex and right hand branch are Ramifying quite well and the foliage seems to like being reduced so that is a definite plus

Still no one has come up with a different variety that might fit, so still staying with the species it was labelled as.

Hi Ken,

This one is going along nicely and toward your design too.

I think you are going to have a fun time fighting the leaves

Cheers.

Yep probably correct there
I have about 4 of these now after I layered the original tree.
1 is Mame size, 2 this size and the original stump
Good fun tho

Here are my final Shots for the competition.
Repotted last night into a Pat Kennedy pot i purchased last year at the Goulburn show, and Photographed this afternoon.

The tree has developed quite well over the year and a bit. It has definite plan to continue with and over the next year or 2 should fill out with a full canopy as I envisaged.
I am a little disapointed I did not get any back budding on the trunk to use as a back branch, and the one i have trained back will work I think, but unfortunately has take too long to develop and after cutting back a month ago has not shot back with any new growth as yet. Late in the summer it should look much nicer

Good luck to all still in the Comp and hope your trees are looking great, and continue to improve with age .

G'day Ken,

The final submissions must include a photo with a ruler standing next to your tree to verify the size.

Nice presentation by the way!
