    Advice on my banyan

    So how do you get it back into a standard pot after you've let the roots grow wild? Just prune them before repotting? Tim

    Advice on my banyan

    Thanks, Brian. About five months out of the year, it sits outside, where it gets good, strong sun for five or six hours a day. It could get more if I moved it around during the day. For the other seven months, it sits inside next to a window and does not get direct sunlight. I could change...

    Advice on my banyan

    You'll need to forgive my naïvety, Anthony, but I'm not following your response. Bump?

    Advice on my banyan

    Okay, I've shown this tree before, but I'm now looking for advice as to how I can make this tree thrive again. It's about 30 years old and has lived through at least one drought. The bottom picture (white background) is from two years ago, and the top picture (gray background) is from...

    The starter Ficus repository!

    When I got this banyan about 10 years ago, it had been through a drought and lost all of its leaves. At that time, it supposedly was 20 years old. It's taken a while to get a full set of leaves again, but I cannot get it to fill out. The leaves only grow at the top. I would love to find a...

    Can you help identify this tree?

    Okay, these look a little different than I remember from two years ago. They're just fat roots ... or something. They're all bent because they are growing into the bottom of the pot. Ficus Benjamina? I'm getting ready to repot them so the largest tree is closer to one end, with the other two...

    Can you help identify this tree?

    Were it poison sumac, I'm pretty sure I'd know by now, so, although funny, I'm going to cross that one off the list of possibilities. From what I can see online, it does look more like a Ficus Benjamina than a Solanaceae Benjamina. So I'm going to go with that (until I break out in itchy...

    Can you help identify this tree?

    A friend gave me these trees about five years ago. Each was in a small plastic pot. I transferred them to this bonsai pot about three years ago, and the trees have been doing well ... I think. The problem is, I don't know what they are. The leaves are about an inch long, a little stiff, and...
