Hi Sno,

I agree with all the posters here that this small fig is a tops little tree. The pot is also really special.
BTW, I think your Berberis is very nice too!
And I see why you could do with more time, living with sno around when we on the Tablelands can start thinking of spring jobs!
Not sure going down on hands and knees would be sufficient, so in your place I wouldn't bother. ;)
Looking forward to the next installment,

Lisa

Thanks Lisa , if we lobby the boss he may give us a comp that finishes in summer ;)


I scored a fantastic double glazed Bain Marie over summer so this tree moved in for autumn .

I haven't set it up properly yet and it won't be warm enough over winter but I'm pretty chuffed . I'll use it for other trees over winter .

This tree is looking healthy going into winter .

Ummed and ahhed whether to keep this one in . My timing was a little out . I defoliated in mid October with the idea of reducing the leaves right down . Unfortunately I had to go away for a while and I wasn't able to 'push' its growth and it ended been outside .the cool nights slowed it down . It's a cutie standing 5 cm .
