Since the onset of summer, very busy dealings with both the trees and the peppers-the heat suits the peppers well, but not so much the trees. I guess there is a reason to favor each of the seasons for me. In reading a post on BonsaiTalk recently, I was moved to post, only to discover I haven't mastered sizing photos from Nikon's Picture project, so I ceased and desisted. Not so worried about the size issues here on Blogger, thought I'd kick in a small before and now project with a Burt Davy ficus I have had a few years. As can be seen, the trunk size is considerably larger, and some preliminary work has been done on the apex. Other than that, it's gonna grow till next summer when it will be transplanted. Just a simple project. Btw, the first photo was in 2004, and is a 4"starter from Lone Pine Gardens.
