It's a long drive for me (Google Maps reckons 1hr 3min). Jow - I take it that your 'bump' implies that there are quality trees to be had at the sale...

Any clues?
Thanks.

D'oh!
I took Antonio's post to heart and decided to stay home and shovel half a tonne of gravel instead...
What sort of trees, Jarrod? Did you pick up anything?
Thanks.

I probably will air layer it is the right time of year and the top has good movement, would be a shame to waste it.

I got there super early and picked up some real bargains. This fig is my favourite.
I've put a highlighter at the base so you can see the size of the trunk. I haven't measured exactly but it's over 30cm across at the base.
