Two newly potted figs

[bonsaiboy50]

Just thought I would share my two newest figs that I potted yesterday. That is, in between the rain and the howling wind. Both were collected from the bush a few years ago. The smaller tree is , overall 200mm by 150 high and the larger is 500mm wide by 550 high. Love to hear what you guys think

Nice, I think there great. That first one looks quite elegent for a fig which is a nice difference to see and the second one looks like IRS going to be a super sumo to me if that's the way your going with it, which I'd imagine.
Do you know what type of fig they are?

Great work,
Hugh

Thanks Hugh, As far as I know ( thanks to a helpfull person here) they are Ficus Oliqua. I have always known them as Queensland small leafe figs

That second one sure fits Salvatore's ratios

I like the elegant look of No. 1 too. Styled more like you would expect from a deciduous tree but it works well. Nice work BB!

Regards,
Steven

Ah ok so there ficus obliqua, I've been wanting to get some of these as I really like the characteristics of that type of fig. Just I havnt really seen any around here.

Thanks,
Hugh

Well I guess that would be right eh Queensland small leaf fig says it all all we get to dig around my area is privit and a few cas & eucs if you can get them to survive which I've finally mastered i think
well I'm going down to ray nesci nursery next weekend so you never know he might have some ficus obliqua if I'm lucky. But I have to admit I am envious of you queenslanders

Nothing wrong with the Privet you guys get to dig Hugh. I guess it is just a matter of Human Nature after all, we all want what we can't get or have

Nice couple of trees BB, particularly like the first one.

[hugh grant]

Well your right there graeme there's nothing wrong with privit, nearly half my collection is privit now. I love privit
but that's very true that we all want what we can't get. But I suppose we've got to think that what we get is the best we can get, if that makes sense.

They grow in interesting places too!



Or get very large!
