Cost- $0
Height- 250mm
Comment- Found growing out from underneath a rusty old wheel barrow about 2-3 years ago, once used for Parsley. No soil except a few granules & rust. Blame the birds that frequent above in the 100 yr old Lilly Pilly.
Planted last season in a pot & that is all.

]RE: (Black Knight) Ficus PJ
Update: I am in troubles here with a rush of Rust that hit this, as well as, my old large Ficus. The only solution but defoliate & spray with Lime Sulphur. Not the best start with the cold snap hitting here & slowing the progress.

Having to defoliate late winter due to the bacteria has slowed the progress of this one

Not a great deal happening & sacrifice branch is also doing little to speed things up.

Update:
Waiting for the thickening branches above to continue growing before chopping back to intended height.

Kind regards,
