Gathering info on Ficus burtt-davyii

Hello all,

I'm preparing to write a plant review for our local club newsletter. The subject: Ficus burtt-davyii, a.k.a. veldt fig, scrambler fig, and South African fig.

This species is still new enough to bonsai that there's almost nothing in the literature -- printed or on-line -- about it.

So, if any of you who grow it would care to offer comments based on your own experiences, I would greatly appreciate it.

Thanks in advance. I have about two weeks -- to mid-October -- in which to write this.

Steve

Thanks, Andy. Info from those who live with the tree in the landscape could be especially helpful.
