An exciting future for sure!
How long ago was the thread graft done? Did you strip the bark or just push it through?
Regards,
Steven

Re: bright future for this fig
A nice future for this one for sure. It must be frustrating for you though as they grow so slowly here as compared to where you used to live.

Re: bright future for this fig
not sure on age as i found this neglected at a nursey with sacifice branches growing out of it.was sick from not been repotted ever i reckon and had to cut it out of the ground. price $10 i think? i think the neglect did me a favour as it left this trunk. the graft is a thread straight through. it will be seperated this summer. one all branches are set i will start work on ramifaction through defoliatinf and pruning. a nice pot down the track not this plastic thing.
