My Fig trees

Post by Edward Scissorhand »

I had an enjoyable and productive day today with the defoliation work. It was very tranquil and almost meditative. :D

Hi Jamie, youre spot on. Its definitely going to be a banyan style. Im going to keep looking for a shallow oval dark blue or black pot. Gonna be hard to find.

Craig, I like that name alot, especially because of the snake like branches. Like the medusa, this fig does mesmerise me alot, as if turning me to stone. I will call her that!! Thanx Craig.
