Gutter fig 1.jpg

Luckily my job was to clean the gutters. When I got it out this is what I found

There was "mulch" in the back of the gutter for 2 metres and that's how far the roots travelled. Gotta love the figs up here in sunny QLD

Bougy..you no doubt saved the house owner a lot of future heartache!....any idea what variety it is ...no leaves has me puzzled a bit! ....Dog.

It's a benji - there are leaves on it that are very small. Just naturally reduced from a limited supply of food and water I think. It had grown over the downpipe drop to get all the water it could. This is number 5 that I have collected in the last 6 months. I found one in Spring Hill growing out of the bricks under a rainwater head. I just chopped it off with a chisel and potted it up after scraping some bark back and applying some rooting hormone. It's going strong

Wish I was that lucky!!

You could have put money on where that big tap root was headed ....cheers mate....Dog.
