Monthly Progress #13

Here is today's look of the F. religiosa, thirteenth month at its home. Most of the new growth is concentrated around the lower trunk. With the frequent afternoon rain storms, growth surrounding the tree has progressed rapidly but the ficus is now expected to require much less care and it is expected to do well on its own. New photo will be posted again on June 17th next month.

Ficus religiosa

The Ficus religiosa is recovering from what we think is an aggressive invasion of the red ants. It is growing many healthy new branches in the lower portion of its trunk that is growing well. One has to be patient until the roots find their way to the water table for sustained growth.
