Anybody seen the pics of Barbados in the new RHS Garden mag? My gob
has been smacked - surely nobody is ever going to want to grow Ficus
benjamina in a pot after seeing those pictures.

But that's the same with any tree we grow as a house plant, see the Monstera
delicosa in Jamaica for the first time and your mouth opens, same with the
"Rubber Plant" trees (F. elastica var decora) in India, the Baobabs in The
Gambia, Cycads in Oz, ..... it's that we might know how big they get but
don't understand untill faced with the reality.
