Monthly Progress #63
The ficus tree is now growing vigorously. In about a month, the main branch has grown to about 10 feet. Several other branches also are competing for the show. It looks great. I can't say the same for the weeds surrounding this area. Compare to last month to see how much the weeds have taken over... All the poor cycads have been swamped and must be suffocating underneath. This area is begging for some trimming... Hopefully it will be done soon. Return to see how this ficus tree fares from now on.

Both the ficus AND the weeds look quite healthy. What kind of tree is that at the edge of the weeds? Looks like a rhododendron, but I didn't think they grew in Florida.
ReplyDeleteThat's an Alstonia scholaris. I grew it from seed more than 3 years ago.
