G'day Benny

Have to agree with Len's comments, they do OK as a Bonsai too....this
way they can be kept under control. You have the choice of a tiny
bonsai (that will have tiny leaves) or a largish one, I've seen both and
they look really nice.

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.

With peace and brightest of blessings,
