I've had this one for some time. I bought it as a starter in a 100mm pot and when I cleaned it up to repot the roots were all twisted and terrible, but I didn't feel that there would be any roots left if I tried to clean them up so I left it to see what would eventuate over the ensuing years.

Re: Willow Leaf Fig
I am still on the lookout for a willow leaf fig.
I see what you mean about the roots. My mate loves this type of root. I am keener on the more disiplined natural looking root. If you did want to ramify the roots more you could try a ground layer. I am sure the fig would respond well.

It's too bad your in such a hurry cause the stories I could tell you, Bushels and baskets of stories, hole crates full of stories. But if you can spare a moment I will tell you one story.
