[IBC] Ficus retusa "Tigerbark" or "Kingman" help
 

I may see Jim Smith on Sat. 10/11 at the Maimi Bonsai Club's show, sales, and
demos at Fairchild Tropical Gardens. I can ask for Hung Le. But shipping is
likely to be fairly expensive.
I might also have such a tree or two, but I will not try to ship.
Does Hung Le ever come south. I am close to I-95 near the Space Center.
Although I am not sure the timing is the best for rooting Ficus cuttings in
Zone 7, if someone would e mail me some simple ideas about mailing cuttings I
could try it.

Hi Billy,
First of all, you guys are great.
I received emails of Mr Ron Martin and Mr Jim Smith and today i just received
responses from both. I am deeply appreciated for all the helps.

About Mailing a cutting: ( any correction on my method is welcome !)
wrap a wet paper towel around the base of cuttings and secure with
rubber-band then put them in the zip-loc bag . I think 2 to 3 days in the bag would not
do any real harm to the cuttings. At least I had try that method and it was
fine.
If you like to send couple cutting to me just for testing the method, please
contact me. Of course on my expenses (LOL).
