Port Jackson ficus found in gutter of old building

Here are some photos of a port jackson I found growing in the gutter of a old building. These photos were taken 6 months after I pulled it out and put it in the ground. The tree's roots had taken up the whole length of the gutter and was very hard to retreve, mainly because the building was two storeys high and I am not a fan of heights. Anyone from Australia can appreciate this finds full worth, our country lacks in available wild species to collect. I think i'm going to leave it for another 6 months and then truck chop it. If anyone has any other ideas as to what direction to take this tree those ideas would be much appreciated.

Dude

Aren't you the lucky girl.

I love it. I lost 5 ficus this year to the cold. Your Port is very nice.


Peace
Bob
