Ficus Green Island

Post by Pup »

I was given this tree a few months ago, and asked if I could do something with it in 2 years challenge accepted. One problem OH bugger forgot the before pics.

Here it is now so we can track it from here, remember we are in the middle of winter here in the west the same as the rest.
So any major work other than pruning new growth will have to wait till it warms up.

The measurements should read 140 mmx 70mm x220mm.

I like m and ms but keep getting them mixed up :palm: :palm:

Hi Pup,
Thanks for the reply mate. I thought that had to be one very small tree. Even with the new sizes the leaves are nice and small. Looks good. :tu:

Hi ya Andrew,

I treat and grow them all the same, but here in the west we do get long hot and dry spells so they are protected from direct sun in the Summer months, otherwise the leaves get burnt.
Also in winter in a warm area to protect them from frost which we sometimes get here where I live.
