Extremely well done Ash, for any one interested, as you can imagine, the photos don't do it justice, this tree is gorgeous up close.

Re: Ficus obliqua 'banyan style'
Another four or five years on ... Ficus obliqua 'Mary Banyan'
Tree: Ficus obliqua collected in Queensland in 1981. Approximately 40 cm high and 80 cm wide.
Pot: Mr Kataoka, Tokoname, Japan.
Stand: Kinbon, Japan.
Time for a bit of sturdy copper wire to gently bring the lower branches down again (and again [and again each year!]).

Re: Ficus obliqua 'banyan style'
I hear you.... I have a couple of figs that I've wired branches down and then a couple of months after removing the wire look at them and realise they have come back up again.Ash wrote:Time for a bit of sturdy copper wire to gently bring the lower branches down again (and again [and again each year!]).
Very nice tree though.
