hey guys, found a patch of figs today. only got the one as the missus needed me home and it was so bloody hot, but all good, there is plenty more and i will be going back, the missus is getting a bit p$%#@d with so many trees in grow boxes but its my hobby and house too lol.

heres the leaf of what they are if anyone could id that would be great, i think it is obliqua or eugonoides.
the leaf size is bout 50mm long and bout 30mm wide.

heres the trunk i got, great nebari
i have given myself plenty of room, it stands 2 foot tall right now untill it back buds then i will cut back and choose a new leader.
the nebari flares out about 250mm, the trunk where it starts to go up is just under 100mm

will be going sumo style with this one for sure
there are more so if anyone in the area wants to go collect a few nice QLD small leaf ficus then let me know and we will organise a bit of a dig.

i do know bundy fisher is bout an hour away, gaeme is just down the road from me and i am pretty sure shannon goes up to bundy quite a bit to?

That leaf throws me off ,don't know .Always keen for a dig though

yea i thought the same, i am pretty sure they are figs though.. i know there will be a fair few patches of fig round the place, the veins just dot look right do they?

i do know there is small leaf fig in there aswell, this leaf i thought was one too, might not be, but i know there is definately fig there, the trunk is fig, i got the leaf of a tree near it thinking it was the same?
