Old Fig Clump.

Post by emi93m »

Just a few pics of A fig clump i picked up on the weekend from a gentleman who due to age and declining health could no longer look after his trees.
The trees history is as follows.

Collected in the late 80's of a established tree in sydney growing on the side of another fig.

Last re-potted in 97 or 98 he couldnt remember butt judging by the fact I had to break the existing pot with a hammer to get the tree out that wouldnt be far off :palm:

Stump dimenstions 13 inches across by10 inches deep

New pot 16 inches across by 13 deep.

Regards Mick
