I thought i'd already posted this one but couldn't find it.
We rescued this one fromour local tip. Dumped because it was root bound and a bit ugly. That was in 2009.
Here is how it has developed from November 2009 to December 2011.

Re: Ficus benjamina 'Midnight'
What a terrific find Chris! How did you go getting it past the 'dumpies' though? Sometimes they are too vigilent for my liking. I have such fond memories of dad and I going to the dump only to come back with more than what we took, much to the disguist of mum i might add.
Lovely rescue mate!

Re: Ficus benjamina 'Midnight'
yeah, Stewart gotta pay to take it in, gotta pay to take it out. At the Rocky tip a company has the salvage rites and it was in thier yard so I just ask how much and got it for a couple $'s, probably for the pot it was in rather the plant.
