RE: Ficus defoliation progress
Thank you for your input. I have not defoliated a citrus tree. It might be better to defoliate in summer when the tree is growing strong. Seek advise from a local nursery and hear what they have to say

RE: Chinese Elm: Late Winter Pruning [Bonsai]
All good. Tools are expensive and it takes a while to build up a collection of tools. I use a cheap wound sealer made by effekto called steriseal. Don’t know if it is available in you region.

RE: Chinese Elm: Late Winter Pruning [Bonsai]
Well done on the tree. Looks good. Might I suggest two things to consider? First you should seal wounds where branches were removed with a sealant just to keep moist out as this is the perfect breeding

Yess! For you any day. Once your piece of raffia is coming to an end insert the new piece of raffia and wrap a few wraps with the old raffia over the new piece. Just before the old one runs out start wrapping

RE: Repotting my final Ficus for the year. What a way to end off the year with my roots up in the air...
Thank you very much for your comments. Much appreciated. Ficus trees grow very quickly and can take a beating. When working on Ficus don’t take to long as their thick branches don’t bend easily. They naturally
