[Natural] Ficus sp group - melbrackstone

Post by melbrackstone »

I have three ficus trees that my brother has gifted me. He keeps finding them growing in his golden cane palms.

Two appear to be similar, with one having a more distinctive bark. That one has been trunk chopped once. I've been growing them in nursery containers since receiving them, all were given to me sometime in 2018.
