Re: Planting a fig
Many thanks Barry,
For your thoughtful advice concerning dwarfing a tree. I really didn't
think about dwarfing the leaf size, but just the tree. I will look this
up in a bonsai book when I get to the arboretum library. Gardeners like
me with very small gardens, need to learn these ancient horticultural
techniques and practice them. Not just reject certain plants because
they are known to get large if one just stands around for 10 years
watching them grow. Jan
