Working on my new fig forrest. I have not seen many group plantings of figs but have always wanted to do one . Early days yet , trees still have to be trimmed and wired a little.

Thanks Mal and yes they do take a lot of time to maintain. and having about 50 of them keeps me very busy . Especially at this time when i am repotting. my larger figs can take up to 5 hours to repot

:cry: just ask my poor old back how heavy they are. Even bare rooted i can only just manage to lift the trees out of the pots for root pruning and repotting
