Great progression mate

Without any objects for sizing this little guy is starting to look quite large!

It never ceases to amaze me how quickly figs grow, considering the small pots they can be in. Love lil stumpy!

Looking good but have you considered developing a more defined crown? My eye gets a little lost looking at your tree without the the leaves.

Nice looking tree. Maybe watch those aerial roots as they may obscure or even change the trunk line.... unless that is what you are after.

Hi Stimson, it was getting there until the frosts hit this winter, the whole top died back so there's less ramification in this last pic compared to last year's.

That is a very nice looking ficus.

I love the root system it has, it must look fantastic when all the foliage has grown through.
