Nice Figs Shannon

What spieces are they.

Some say "Eugenoides" and others "Obliqua" I just call them Queensland small leaf mate! (QSL)

It saves any disagreements

Here are the semi styled mediums.

With creating the Banyan style I use a combination of wire and clip and grow methods.

I really like the hollowed trunk. once you get some ramification and leaf size down it will be impressive.
