Ficus lyrata (Fiddle Leaf Fig) Mrs. Hankshaw, our database doesn't include a photo of this plant....would you mind uploading it to the page? Pretty Please I am shameless when it comes to getting information and/or photos added to our plant pages
Awesome. I'll do that when I get to a computer sometime today, I'm on my phone right now. I thought maybe a fig tree. The actual funeral is today. I'm actually hoping no one else wants it, but it's my aunt so I'm not pushing for it since she had 9 kids. She was one of my favorite aunts, it would be great to have it though. We shall see.
Looked it up and learned a little about. The plant is hardy to Zone 9b but can be grown farther north with care and winter protection.. It does make fruit but they're reported as inedible, don't know why.. http://davesgarden.com/guides/pf/showimage/220888 Hank
I got it! No one else really cared so the cousin running things said take it. I hope it does well, I feel theres added pressure since it came from a beloved aunts funeral. I wouldn't want to kill it. I'll add this pic to the plant page also in a bit. It's a better view.
Not only is it a beautiful plant but also a lasting memory of a well loved relative. :-D I hope it lives with you for many, many years to come.
