In 2019 I got a bucket of Ficus “Too Little” cuttings from a club member. This little guy was the runt of the litter, but I wanted to see if it would survive and what I could do with it. It’s grown well over the years and this past summer. It is in need of some pruning and wiring. A small project for this winter. It’s my smallest tree, but also one of my favorite 5 trees, since I created it from virtually nothing. Here’s some pics: 2 from the start in Sept 2019 1 from Apr 2020 2 from Jan & Aug 2021 2 from today, the front and a silhouette from behind ![20190831_182534](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/flex029/uploads/bonsaimirai/original/3X/a/2/a2e48b92be81ab7ae89b4faa94c621299a38c8f9.jpeg) ![20190929_223010](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/flex029/uploads/bonsaimirai/original/3X/3/a/3aca10d00a70c88c082ae35f60ebc502d3566538.jpeg) ![20200421_144032](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/flex029/uploads/bonsaimirai/original/3X/2/3/23add6b3c61031e9188dbf9c1d5cc0160e3fdbf5.jpeg) ![20210127_124843](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/flex029/uploads/bonsaimirai/original/3X/8/1/8180e2e30e9542c901eddb52dca524a345eccf11.jpeg) ![20210819_170310](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/flex029/uploads/bonsaimirai/original/3X/5/6/56777a11e5cdc0303230ccf2c4d9b392ac9b8251.jpeg) ![20221019_124248](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/flex029/uploads/bonsaimirai/original/3X/9/f/9fcf84c340954c16e500c8418755e38606340323.jpeg) ![20221019_150713](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/flex029/uploads/bonsaimirai/original/3X/4/b/4b24c45e1437edd009949948cb6e904f1aacbb45.jpeg) ---

I absolutely love that. I can see why it’s in the top 5.
