Hi all - hope everyone had a great Christmas.

Here is one of the gifts I got this year for Christmas.
This was given to me by a good friend and his wife in Sydney.

Cheers,
Leigh.

Good one Leigh! Quite a cute little fig - but I think it would be better as an Informal Upright than as a Semi Cascade...

Happy Silly Season!

Thanks everyone - The tree does have a rock in the side of it. The pot I am unsure about. I think it is Moreton Bay Fig (I am no fig specialist - so I could be corrected).

Now that I have my new camera I will have to get myself organised and get some pics up for the virt comp. Got out of control busy before xmas - sales went mental, especially a couple of days before xmas.

Cheers,
Leigh.

port jackson?

Hi LZRD84,

Do you reckon she is a Port Jackson? I dont know much about ficus - what would be the identifying factors in determining the difference between Port Jackson and Moreton Bay Fig?
I can get a pic of the leaves if you want.

Cheers,
Leigh.
