Ficus Bonsai on a Slab

by Jarbas Godoy

The Bonsai Society of Miami often invites me to critique the annual bonsai exhibit. I prefer to call it a "walk through".

This Ficus on a natural slab at the 2007 show, really caught my eye. My main suggestion was to remove the root coming off the trunk.

When I first posted this bonsai photo, I didn't know who the owner was. Jarbas stepped forward.

Read his comment on how he explained his long term plan for the root!
