  1. Large Ficus macrophylla, Sydney Botanic Garden, Sydney, NSW, Australia

    Ficus macrophylla, commonly known as the Moreton Bay fig or Australian banyan, is a large evergreen banyan tree of the mulberry and fig family Moraceae. It is native to eastern Australia, from the Wide Bay–Burnett region of Queensland in the north to the Illawarra region of New South Wales. The infraspecies Ficus macrophylla f. columnaris is endemic to Lord Howe Island. Its common name refers to Moreton Bay in Queensland. It is best known for its imposing buttress roots. - Wikipedia

  3. Ficus macrophylla f. columnaris, Sydney Botanic Garden, Sydney, NSW, Australia

    Restricted to Lord Howe Island. The most remarkable characteristic of this plant (as compared to F. macrophylla subsp. macrophylla in mainland Australia) is its lack of a single main trunk. Instead, it has 10 or more trunks each having arisen from an aerial root. In 1882 it was recorded that the largest of the old trees on Lord Howe Island covered an area of about 1 hectare.

  5. Have you grown a fiddle leaf fig? It's my first time; I rescued this one and it is making its first new leaves since it moved in 🥺

  7. I gave away some fig treelets yesterday and boy did they go fast. If you have one that gets pruned I urge you to do the same: just throw the stems in a bin, cover with moist sand, and ignore in your basement during the winter. In the spring, just pot them up. Easy peasy. #figs #ficus #plants #gardening #swarthmore

  8. Last October when I pruned my fig tree I threw the clippings into a moist bin in my basement in case some of them rooted. Which they did. Now I have to unload them on neighbors and passersby. "Hey, pssst: want a fig tree?" #figs #ficus #gardening

  9. #Ficus experiment.

    The tree is a Ficus Obliqua, one of a bunch I started from seed in 2022. It had eighteen siblings once, but the lankier or bigger leafed ones I gave away and I'm down to three now.

    It was in a two gallon-ish flower pot until last month. Now that I find myself in a place with a large window and a balcony, it's been de-potted to give it room to grow.

    The tray underneath is filled with expanded clay and baby watercress. The mound is seeded with mini-clover and alpine wild strawberries. I didn't have quite enough clover seed to get good coverage on the first pass, so had to give the bald spots a second rub-down once the first batch was established.

    The mound consists of a base "pillow" of burlap stuffed and stitched with planting mix, a burlap pot containing the transplanted tree stitched tight to that, and then more soil mix and a wrap around all of that, stitched top and bottom to the other bags.

    The mix is 50/50 orchid potting mix (bark, chunky perlite, some charcoal) and potting soil.

    It looks like the clover will handle the vertical sides, and I'm sure the strawberries will if any are actually hiding in there somewhere.

    As an unexpected (bonus?), it's now growing mushrooms. I *think* they're "Shaggy Ink Cap", and I'll take it as a sign that a healthy soil ecosystem is getting established in my little hill. Once the clover and (hopefully) strawberries are established enough, I won't need to keep the mound nearly as moist so the 'shrooms should calm down I expect.

    My first time growing #watercress -- I'll be using more on the deck under plants so I won't be raining on the downstairs neighbor all summer.

  11. So sieht der Ficus Benjamini in Guanajuato auf dem Hauptplatz aus. Du kannst dir sicher vorstellen, wie dick die Stämme sind.

  13. #ThickTrunkTuesday

    Ein Riesenficus im Campo von Almoradi, Provinz Alicante. Unter dieser sehr ausladenden Krone ist es sehr angenehm schattig und kühl und die Sonne malt bunte Sprenkel durch das dichte Blätterdach.

  14. Hey #uk #horticulture fans,

    I'm looking for any inland sources of #ficus #elastica #seeds please. All varieties considered.

    Ideally avoiding amazon or ebay altogether!

    Thankyou kindly
