Just a small Tigerbark Ficus

[Redwood Ryan]

Hi all,



Bought this little guy online from a nursery down south and it arrived today. Not bad for the price I paid, $15. Trying to decide whether or not I want to plant it at an angle or if I want to leave it as is...







Comments?

Repotted and tilted slightly:


Think I'll be shooting for something similar to this:

I like where you're going with this guy. Are you thinking a younger or older form for the eventual tree?


I would only suggest to let it go wild until it's really healthy then cut it back. I know your greenhouses will do the trick

Thanks! I think I'll probably have to go with younger form for the eventual tree. The trunk isn't too big, but neither are the leaves so it should work out just fine in the long run. However something about that virt just isn't right. I probably won't grow the upper section of the tree like that, and will probably make it more of an upright.

Maybe a little more tilting is in order??
