Hi Don - Congratulations on an absolutley stunning base.

I have a couple of large Willow Leaf figs, but all of mine have developed "shoulders" at the edge of the root system, whereas yours are flared perfectly.

How did you manage to get this gradual flare with this species?
Did you use a root gradting technique like I saw in another thread here recently?

Regards
Steve

Wow! I'm new here on BSG, and just saw the pictures of this tree. What Jerry said: the base is to die for!

Any chance we'll see this tree on display any time soon at the Mid-America Show? (hint, hint.)

Dustin will have to answer that question since it is in his collection now.
