Ficus bush turned Tree!
    #14278198 - 04/12/11 02:01 PM (12 years, 9 months ago)

I bought this ficus in the variety of a bush originally. I took it home, trimmed it up and braided the stems and now it is my Braided Ficus Tree. This is the first time I have owned a Ficus and have braided branches. I slightly shaved the trunks at points where they touched throughout the weave so they would grow as one but I was advised that the stems would grow together on their own. I have noticed this to be true. The braid job is a lil ehhh, but decent. Lemme know what you think! and closer view of braid....

Cool experiment.  I once bought a dying Ficus for a quarter, then nursed it back to health.  Then it got huge, rooted into my greenhouse floor, and I had to chop it down. :/

Good shit! :fonz:


Have you been wrapping the shaved joins in that plastic I see in the pictures?

Trunk topiary is really cool.

i had the plastic just to keep the braid tight so it would grow closely together. i had it wrapped on bottom middle and top. just for about a week.

If you shave the branches then tie the Two together and fix it with tape or plastic they will fuse. This will create the effect you're after.

I'm not knocking your plant though. I like it how it is.
