Carp,

Love that Port Jackson fig from 1960, incredible trunk and movement.

It seems everything else is a bit leggy and needs a severe trimming pronto.

Have these trees been grown in pots all their lives? They seem fairly thin for thier purported ages.

Regards,

Fish.

Oops - just noticed there's at least 2 PJ Figs from 1960 - I like the one with the shari.

Ah - just realised I'm not going mad at all - just that Mr Carp is posting at the same time as me.
