I probably will go one more pot larger next year. It was so small 4 years ago. It was in a 4" pot for just 3.98 at a big store. From the start it's been the fastest Ficus of all.

Yep,I can see that being blown over in winter. I think I will tie it to the fence for now.
I might top it next year..make it a rounded colorful Ficus at eye level.

It was requested by the OH that I moved it further from the stairs. Its getting to crowded for man and plant.

Moved. I used a left over rubbish bin lid made of plastic as a saucer 2 years ago. Well,it must have cracked soon after. But!..today that smooth lid made it very easy to slide that big plant.
Do you know moved left- that tip reaches the peak f the roof? I didnt think it was that tall.

It definitely needs to be put into the ground. It'll get really large in the ground.
