Large banyan ficus

[Giga]

I made the choice to get rid of my tropicals and a local person took the few tropical tree's I had but I have this guy left and I was unsure about selling it because it has such good bones. I don't really have a price in mind so I'm open to reasonable offers. It's very large and shipping is not an option at this time. I will be putting it on Craigslist as well so It will go fast, if it's like the others I sold but want to give this community first dips on a nicer tree. It just got a Hedging as it grows so fast and de-wired. A lot of the main branches are already fused and well set-couple years and this will be a masterpiece. The main branches were left running but you can cut them back if you want. Any questions feel free to ask.

If you didn't live so far away it'd be sold

Giving up? What happened?

Granted, I myself am moving away from tropicals. Just when they build up a head of steam, it's time to bring them in!!
Always thought your Mangrove tank was great. I'm sure a ton of work!!
Shoot, ya' can't keep just the one?

I still have my mangroves, and I've been on the fence about this one and if I don't sell it I will keep it for now lol

Benjamina?

 

[Giga]

yeah, but grows like a microcarpa or tiger bark- I've defoliated, chopped it back to nothing originally and it just grows stronger-it has great genetics for a benj.
