Overdue repot

Post by senseijames »

Thought I might put up a couple of photos of todays repotting effort, one of my oldest figs 1970 and my fig forest 15 trees 1987, I still have a lot of refining to do on the forest yet.

G'day Andrew, yeah mate the pots are very nice ( and heavy too ), the fig is about 90 cm high, base is about 20 to25 cm, the pot is 39 cm dia. the highest trees in the forest are about 55 cm high ranging down to about 20cm tall, the pot is 59 cm across the front.

Hi Jamie, thanks mate, they need a bit of work at that.

Wow thats huge. Im new so sorry about the nubie Q's but are you meant to keep chopping them down or let them grow very tall and have a design?? or is it just like an unspoken law or something?
