Moreton Bay fig 3

Progression thread : Moreton Bay fig 3

Moreton Bay figs should be given to every novice to learn with. In particular I find Moreton Bay figs very forgiving and tough as nails. I now add 40% washed river sand to the mix for excellent drainage.
They develop slightly more interesting growth than Port Jacksons, not better just interesting.

I bought this from Bonsai World at Jilliby on the Central Coast for $50
