Hi stjohn,

Hi Kittywispa, sounds like a great tree.
Iv'e owned my fig for about six years. I repotted my Ficus bangladensis in June two years ago, and it suffered no harm. The pot is 11" deep and a diameter of 16". From mid June it stands outside and is brought indoors when the nights get colder.
I bought the tree off a market stall as a bonsai (more like a chopped down office fig and bunged into a far too small pot).
