Challenging Ficus material pt 3 : Repotting a MASSIVE bonsai

After a drastic restyling of the Ficus benjamina tree, David Easterbrook proceeds to repot it into a container more suitable for its life as a bonsai.
He finds a precious and antique Tokoname pot that fits the humongous root ball and gives a handful of repotting tips along the way.

    Awesome series of videos about this ficus! I really appreciate your knowledge and especially your stamina. I am 69 and think you might be around my age or older. Apparently one gains energy from doing bonsai which I have been doing three whole weeks now. lol Again thank you for sharing.

    Hello David, thank you for sharing your knowledge, i have been doing bonsai for last 12 years, i have many trees in my collection, 95% mostly all collected , what a great hobby, i have junipers 50 to 60 years old,, wisteria over100 years old, 12 privets over 50 years old, list can go on and on,, 8 ficus collected from building site, so people check out your recycling centers, ask your neighbours, if you see a garden clearance van or a truck check them out , your collection will grow like crazy

    Regarding the scythe, I haven't had any problem with tight overgrown roots of any of my plants yet. Maybe another 10 years... And I still wonder if my fingers would be a fairly good fertilizer.

    G'Day mate. Do you find root work is easier dry or moist. Do you ever hose the roots off instead of using chopsticks??? As per the using finer soils in warmer climates works here in Australia where we can have wwk straight of 40c plus (105f plus)

    Not recommended. As mentioned a few times during the series I have to store away this Ficus for a few months in a warm greenhouse and I have very limited space so the repotting was necessary. The ideal time would have been end of June
