Very interesting thread and photos.

Tapla, love your Ficus nerifolia, especially in the photo as it shows the wonderful structure of the plant. I have several varieties of Ficus, but none as striking as yours.

My oldest plant is a Jade Plant. It is more than 50 years old now. Moves outside for the summer and back in before frost. It is 40" tall now, and the trunk is about 8" in diameter. Right now is full of buds which are just about to start opening. It will stay in bloom for about 3 months. it is sitting on the gh floor at east end. I will try to locate a photo I took of it about a year ago. DonnaS
