[IBC] New Ficus growing root from it's upper branches
Hi.
I'm completely new to Bonsai trees but have always been interested in them. Recently, I was given a ficus which I noticed is growing a long root from one of it's upper branches. It consists of one thin root which then splits into about 5 more roots, and they're running along the soil. Should I leave it 'dig in' or not? Some Ficus do that. They are referred to strangler fig I believe. The roots if allowed to grow will eventually reach the soil and thicken, so depending on whether the roots are in a position to enhance the overall appearance of the tree that may determine whether you keep the roots SteveW Long Island NY ************************************************** ****************************** ++++Sponsored, in part, by Kevin Bailey++++ ************************************************** ****************************** -- The IBC HOME PAGE & FAQ: http://www.internetbonsaiclub.org/ -- +++++ Questions?
