Old collected fig that the previous owner had sat on for 30 or 35 yrs ? memory, cost me a pretty penny to, wife would die if she you knew how much...yes I lied to her, see you in hell :palm: haha
Anyway 2010 i would start the build, 8 full years later i m now happy for it to go in a local show,....through the process I would keep both trunks/arms only lowering the smaller one (closest to you) over time with turnbuckles..... cheers

Needs a Aussie pot....

See you at the gates of hell ... oh, and I hope the title of your post is about your tree!

Take some solace mate ... there is no way all those dresses, shoes and handbags were always on sale; how much money has been spent ‘saving’ money. [SEE-NO-EVIL MONKEY][SMILING FACE WITH SMILING EYES]

On other matters ... excellent progression! [THUMBS UP SIGN]

Oh, and you’ll be turned away from the gates because of all the trees you saved from certain death - providing advice to amateurs like me.

Yes there are things that just appear somehow, but they have had them quite awhile apparently when complimenting ;)

Oh yes the tree, very happy with it and glad you like it, keep posting Mark your trees are coming on in leaps and bounds...great to see.
