Baby Ben Fig, what happened to it Jamie?

[Gareth]

i remebr you had that monster of a fig and as far as i can tell didnt get rid of it.

Do you still have it? have you worked on it, would love to see it if you still have and see the work you have done.

[Jamie]

hi mate,

yes i still have it, i have just been letting it grow and get really strong I have a thread graft in for a new leader which i reckon will be close to taking by the end of summer I have been meaning to get an update pic to show its health, it has really put on some growth and is budding down the trunk, which i hope when i take the top off after the leader has taken will induce a lot more budding which i cant see why it wont.

I will get a pic today for ya guys

hi mate,

heres the pic, its hard to show much as i have just let it grow, and didnt have any helpers to hold a sheet up for a back drop and i wasnt gonna try move it, this is either a big, big 1 man tree, but 2 solid men will make it a lot easier, i reckon it weighs a good 30kg or more ( i know it doesnt sound like much, thats just a guess but i cant lift it myself, its very awkward to lift too.

I really look forward to seeing the work on this as it goes along, oh, did i hear someone suggest a progression post?
