Inspired by my favorite thread (and of course the recent stream), let’s see some photos of the mallsai we’ve all had at some point.
Here’s mine - the first bonsai I ever bought
Here it is back in 2015 when i bought it from Bonsai Empire - Ficus Benjamina
Here it is this year (2021) after a fresh re-pot:
Everybody has to have a few of those 
@Kenez What is the last one? Not much to go on.
.
Yes, I have mallsai… no photos of them though…
Long time dead but still…
At least it got a chance to thrive in cute Japanese pot before the draught took it’s life.
haha maybe i should have called it ‘mallsai graveyard’ … i definitely have more dead than alive
This snow rose has tried to die a few times now lives in the bathroom and seems happy for now
This was my first bonsai tree. I don’t even know how old it is, but I wish I knew what I was doing because it could be amazing now. It has to be at least 10 years old. It’s now starting its journey to a root over rock composition.
that’s awesome - i have a bunch of dwarf schefflera from fuku bonsai - i’m having fun experimenting with them:
root over rock (this one is probably my 2nd tree???)
combined these 2 into a joint composition over a jan culek slab
i had a pinyon yamadori die (tree was awesome i was pissed!!!
) so i kept the trunk and made this epiphytic design to make it look like the schefflera killed it (a la ‘strangler fig’ i’ve seen in cambodia angkor wat)
cheers
I get a lot of ficus as gifts…

They’ve been great for experimenting on, because of how much they tolerate.
Just stopping in to say that what you’ve all done with mallsai is really incredible 
I don’t have one myself but I’m half tempted to go rescue one from a store just to see if I’m up to the challenge!
that’s awesome - you got a ‘before’?
those look really good! strong work
Three from one!
I got these as a single “S” tree from a grocery store about 4 years ago. It was just like the ones Ryan demo’d on the live stream. I first air layered the cascade part off of the base, then air layered the tip of the cascade part later.
