Ficus rubiginosa?

Post by squizzy »

Hi all

This is a fig I aquired of one of my worksites a year ago. It was a shoot from a root from a larger tree. I got it growing over the last 12 months and it has now had its first styling. I will keep the progress of this tree going as it seems to have a potential.
