- Tiger Bark Ficus, Ficus microcarpa, is a tremendously resilient tree, as are all Ficus. This tree was purchase from a garden center at a big box store. It came planted in coco peat only. I didnt think anything of it except it did not really grow much in the six months after purchasing it. Well, once I repotted the tree I found out why-The tree was suffering from a rotting trunk. The rot went all the way up the trunk into the canopy ...!
After cutting away most of the rotting wood, I made a ground layer technique and planted for 6months. Today, I will uncover the results.. will the tree have new roots or has it suffer a terminal fate?
Lets see if we can SAVE THIS TREE!

Nice one.
Often trees that recover from major trauma end up to be awesome trees! This one is looking good with some nice character to the trunk!
hope hope ill keep at it. itll grow stronger healthy roots in that bigger pot. thank you Nigel.
wow 😯 😮 it made it 🤩 happy healing ❤️🩹 tree
Looks like it survived, and hope hope makes a good bonsai. Thank you for watching
Found one of these at a local garden center and it had the same issue. Rotten trunk. After watching this video I carved away the rot with my woodcut gouge and layered spaghnum moss around the damaged area. I’m hopeful there will be roots soon.
Oh no Thats what happened to this one! AND yes that exactly what ive done here. it worked for me! if the tree is willing, it’ll work for you too!!!
i got I of these from Walmart it almost died I repotted and now it looks great..I love the air layering that's the next thing I learn. very awesome tree great job!
i appreciate that. agreed not a fan of that coco peat only pots .. definitely not for Bonsai. thank you for watching
