Robert's Ramblings

I think that the Moreton Bay Fig, Ficus macrophylla, is my favourite when it comes to amazing trees.

From the beautiful rich dark green foliage through to the dense bushy structure, a large robust trunk and finally those extraordinarily convoluted buttress roots, they are just stunning. We have some beautiful examples here in Adelaide.

This Moreton Bay Fig adorns the grounds of Prince Alfred College where it is slowly tearing up the car park!
