Just plain ugly is more like it! LOL It is SO bizarre that it does have a certain amount of charm. I was going to chop it up into separate trees but since you like it so much I'll keep it intact and style it from there. I'm thinking of calling the "The Creature II".
@ Maybe I have a liking for monsters. Will be excited to see what you do with it to make it to your liking but not change its true character. I watch every episode of your channel.
@@MamaJArk Yes, the bonsai that is clean and sleek and graceful and "perfect" stirs something inside of us but the one that is contorted, twisted, tortured and misshapen can have an even more profound effect at a completely different level. I think those trees evoke that sense of struggle that we all feel at some time or other. Thank you for you loyalty! I truly appreciate it!
Thanks Nigel! I'm still a little confused so I'm going to list the trees and then try to name them. No. 1 - Clean lines, fairly large leaves, white pot. Elemental Bonsai tells me it's a "Port Jackson" rubiginosa. Concur? No. 2 - Cut backs that died leaving the tree in almost two pieces. Lots of aerial roots. Natalensis? No. 3 - Crazy wild growth with huge number of roots growing out of the pot. Burt Davii? Thanks for helping!
The first unknown Ficus looks like a Ficus Rubginosa "Port Jackson ". Great video
Thanks! I think you are absolutely correct. I was able to find a picture and it appears identical especially the way the new leaves unsheathe.
That last unknown is absolutely fascinating! I love it!

I'm guessing the third last tree is a Ficus natalensis and the next one is a Burt Davii? Nice to see the updates and different varieties!!

@@WoodcrestBonsai That's sounds right to me!!!
@@TheBonsaiZone I'm going with it!
Could it be golden gate ficus
