Hey all, just did a lil work on the ficus shohin I've been working on for the past several months... be kind...
did a little shaping today

and here is one last little dude i've been working on:

Nice Qitianlong, I particularly like the second one from the top. Beautiful pots too. Stumpy has that branching potential to be one of those trees you just can't tell its size in a photo. Cheers Shane

Hi Qitianlong , mate you have to be cruel to be kind . They are looking good much better than mine anyway . I should treat my lot to a full chop and make a few new shohin as well .

Cheers Alpine

Thanks guys, here's a pic of stumpy with a reference...
I'm just relieved that the first 3 in matching pots survived the surgery...

update on lil stumpy after a couple of years (the first 3 figs I sold).

Stumpy has improved nicely.

Well done Q!

What a neat little shohin!

I also prefer the new pot too!

Looking really nice bud. I must say though, if I had one criticism it would be that first branch on the right. Seems very straight and thick. May just be the photo?

Nice... I don't mind the first right branch,- feature first branch- a bit more ramification will help that branch.

Really obvious progression in the 3 or so years since the pic above, it's going very nicely and maturing quickly. I can see what Andrew is saying about that first branch on the right ... but I also see a great tree overall.

update

Nice work, looking great

Cheers Benbonsai!

Little ripper mate.

Yeah, love this little guy. Thanks Anthony
