Hi All,
Funny you asked. I have two sitting in my back yard right now as part of a shipment recieved from Florida for a George LeBolt workshop next week. One is a dwarf and one a standard. They look like great material and I will choose one of them for my subject.

If you would like I will post photos for you.

"Hard to find and expensive over here... Over 15times the price of normal ficus. Thats why you wont see 'm here!!"
Andy, thats a surprise. When I looked them up on the net native location was given as South Africa. Maybe you could collect some wild ones.

Good growing,

Bob O
