[SOLD] Ficus Natalensis (Perth Only)

[banksia]

I've had this tree for just over 7yrs now and it's come time to move it on. It stands 52cms high and 60 cms wide. Trunk (just above rootspread) is 12cms wide (26cms circumference). I aquired this tree from a Vietnamese grower here in Perth and at the time he told me he had been developing it for over 8yrs, originally from advanced nursery stock. The tree is in excellent health and could easily go into a suitable pot this year.
Not alot has to be done to it in the way of further development, but that's up to the prospective buyer to ascertain.
All up, the tree and grow box are quite heavy (15-20kgs) so posting it is out of the question....besides, I'm not confident enough to package it and dispatch it as is. Therefore I'm calling on anyone interested in Perth as a potential buyer. I live about 35kms from the metro area so pick up from my place is an option, or......we could arrange for me to deliver or meet half way.....depending on where you live.
The price on this is $400.00 firm, which I believe is pretty reasonable, considering the price some of our nurseries charge.

Cheers!
Anthony

Beautiful tree mate, I keep coming back and looking at it again. Not in the market for a fig just now but i almost wish i was. No spare dollars atm anyway. Someone should really enjoy this one though...good luck.

Thaks Neil!. It is a nice tree and one which is really forgiving and (though fast growing) easy to work with. I know Pup's not too fond of them due to their growth habit, but I'm hoping someone else will get enjoyment out of it. There are a couple of West Aussie members on this site that may be interested. Then there are those non-member who may well be in the market. So there's still hope. Early days yet anyway. Thanks again.
P.S Find a buyer and there just might be a spotters fee in it for ya

Cheers!
