My New Fig

Howdy All,

I am just like a kid in a candy store when I go to the nursery. I am changing jobs next week, and I figured I would by myself a little gift. Well not toooo toooo little. I purchased a fig today at Bonsai West. It measures 30 inches high and 26 inches accross. I included a rough picture of it, sorry for that, but I was all excited getting it into the house!

Let me know what you think!,
Anthony*

Interesting

I like how that one highest root in the front curves back towards the centre of the trunkline and underneath the rest of the roots.

Looks like you made an excellent buy...
