Hi gang, this is a ficus from western Australia that was originally collected by the late Ron Andersen around 1995. He took several cuttings back to Melbourne and propagated them in his glass house. This was given to me as a pencil thin plant around 1997.

This is a close up of the leaves, and this tree has an unusual red stem. I know it was collected from Western Australia but if someone could help me with the variety. It has very long thin leaves.

Cheers
