I removed dead branches and thinking about removing one or two small new branches because it seems like it is wasting of space. what I mean is that those small ones is covered by bigger ones and growing in same direction. Ill update this album sometime next week. Planning to buy scissors to cut those small dry branches by the trunk coz it doesn't do any good as well. Would You mind to give me your email or other type of way to contact you. You see I'm not professional and sometimes I need and advice and I don't want to give up on it because tree is doing pretty well. I'm watering it every day. giving as much sun and daylight as possilbe (in UK) and feeding once a week with non-organic bonsai food. Is there any good books about specifically these kind of trees? Thanks for your help. Regards, Martin. Hi Chris,

Looking at the photos of your tree, I think perhaps it might be a ginseng ficus instead of microcarpa. Nevertheless, the care is about the same. This tree needs some serious help, as you recognize. it's possible to get it healthy with proper care, and then perhaps some new branches can be grafted on the trunk. Your best bet is to find someone who knows about bonsai in your area and get some help. I will email you to find out more information. Chris Martin, thanks for your comment.

When I find photos of the work of a great bonsai artist, I stare at the photos for long periods of time, trying to learn all that I can. I did that with photos of Kimura's trees when I obtained one of his books, and I've been wanting to do that with Robert Steven as well. Thank you for this review.

Some split a soda straw, and place it over nascent aerial roots to direct the new root to the place they want it. Done properly, this can still maintain a very natural appearance for roots farther from the trunk, as in a banyan style. Just be sure to split the straw beforehand, as it's difficult not to damage the root later on. Charles, there are other good techniques as well.

Thank you for this! Next spring I intend to try this technique on one of my benjaminas.
