Monthly Progress #66

Here is the ficus tree, at about 10 feet tall as of today. I now think I understand why this tree took so long to get established: that is because of its being in the area prone to intruding salt water from Biscayne bay. I could have chosen a different location at higher ground, but this place is secluded, which I like better. There is another ficus tree ( I am not sure its species name) nearby that is thriving so hopefully this tree will perform as well. 5 years down, many more to count...
