[SELL] 50+ year old Ficus benjamina SEQld

Post by melbrackstone »

This magnificent Ficus benjamina is 50plus years of age, with a well behaved and worked trunk. The nebari is 400mm across the front, tree is 1200mm tall from the base of trunk, and the pot is a 700 x 250 oval ceramic. It's been recently pruned after growing well over the early Spring season, and the foliage will bulk up again nicely for Summer. This exceptional tree is now too large to be properly cared for by its owner, and it's with a heavy heart that it's being offered for sale.

The owner might be able to organise lowish cost delivery if the buyer is in the SE Qld area, freight to other parts of the country is extra also.

I thought I'd share in case anyone wants to jump in before it goes to auction on fb next week. Message me here if you're interested, please.

This topic on buying is worth a look too. viewtopic.php?f=102&t=8615

It is indeed, you only need to look at the bricks to get a bit of an idea of scale!
