Ficus, Banana-Leaf Fig, Saber Ficus 'Alii' (Ficus maclellandii)

one I've wanted for quite some time...


I've grown this in bright light inside for nine years.

A specimen in the Greenhouse at Western Colorado Botanical Gardens. -What happens to that novelty braiding after a few years.



Ficus bought as a cheap "clearance" plant 5 years ago, now has to be trimmed and topped regularly in Sebring, Florida


Thought is was protected enough from Jan. '09 freeze.
