g'day bennyb,

not sure if you are planning on growing these in your garden?

also not sure how well they do in the colder climes.

but keep one thing in mind most ficus have very invasive root systems,
they get into sewerage pipes and into foundations, lift footpaths and
roadways.

also it doesn't matter how small you keep the top of the plant pruned
ie.,. as in a standard shape or whatever, the roots grow just as they
normally would.

they do very well as a pot culture.



snipped
With peace and brightest of blessings,

len
