Thanks for taking the time to comment paul. i was thinking since it was a ficus and root grow aggressively all year round that i can get away with a smaller pot. but note taken, it will be in a bigger pot when i re-pot next year.

Hi Eric,
I've been watching this post on BonsaSite since last year, I think. Very wonderful progression series! I really love how it looks now. Are you planning on changing the styling now that the lead branch has curved forward? I think the curve actually gives it a neat look. It also has great bends in the trunk. I'm looking forward to seeing where you go with it!

Thanks axxon. I turned the cascading trunkline towards the front instead of just one straight line going away from the rock, imo it adds depth and interest to the composition. I'm glad you like it.

I definitely like it much more now that you changed the direction. I completely agree that it adds more depth. Very nice work

I would love to see how this tree looks now. Funny, I have the patience for growing things, but these sites with pictures showing others people projects I can not seem to see the results fast enough. This looks like a great little ror ficus. Also is the last pic the front side of this plant? What is the little piece of plastic for? Just curious.

Hi ed, I'm glad that you enjoy this ror progression. The tree is a little bit overgrown right now, I am letting it grow wild to thicken the roots on the rock. The plastic on the soil line is filled with soil mounded to reach small roots on the rock to prevent them from drying up and help them to thicken.

I agree Eric, very nice job and a great progression of the project. I also though like the third pic as a front just because the r o r looks great. But the first will work too, just more time to thicken that front root system. I look forward seeing the progress.

Eric I commented on this on another forum, but I must say again what a great job you have done so far. Looking forward to future updates.

This is a beautiful tree! I've always wanted to try "ror" but I've never felt I had a rock that was good enough, or the experience in bonsai to know what I'm doing.
