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*
