Growing ficus and all other tropical species in our latitude is very difficult. It is like someone in tropic region would tray to grow Picea or Larix. I have only one such tree, ficus, it is my friend for last four years. It is fun to working on it while waiting to winter finally move away. And if I remember what a start we have, I must say that it came a long way:
Gojenje fikusov in sploh vseh tropskih vrst v naših zemljepisnih širinah je zelo težavno. Podobno kot bi v tropih kdo skušal gojiti smreko ali pa macesen. Imam samo eno takšno drevo, fikus, s katerim sva prijatelja zadnja štiri leta. Ob čakanju na to, da zima končno le odide, je ukvarjanje z njim kar zabavno. In če se spomnim, kakšen je bil najin začetek, je kljub vsemu zelo napredoval:
