Photos of deleafed bonsai from my garden
The following are photos of bonsai that I recently deleafed and what they look like a few days later.
On average new leaves starting sprouting around 3-4 days after the deleafing treatment.
This ficus tree took me some 3 hours to totally deleaf it.
One advantage of deleafing is that it allows me
to get a better view of the structure of the tree
and to facilitate trimming of the branches.
This ficus tree was shaped more or less into an umbrella shape.
It is more than 4 feet in diameter.
The ficus tree 10 days after deleafing.
These are smaller trees (up to about a foot in height)
which generally took about an hour to deleaf one tree.
