Awesome tree and especially the roots. Thanks Ken.
Surely that tree is older than 30 years though??

I am only guessing by the age of the suburb
Unless planted much earlier as part of the primal farm, but its the only one around here like it?

There is a style called "Savannah style" which suits figs. Have a look at the Lion King which has a few in the background.

This is one inside the croc enclosure at Taronga. Hence the reflection in the glass. I love the trunk though. It even has what looks like a bonsai pot.
