Nice buy for $15 ! They are great to work with too, I love Ficus. You need a blowtorch to kill one, and even then it may come back. The Green Island is usually a hard one to find, the Burt Davyi are not that common either but hey, your in Fl. the sunshine state, home of the Ficus. I go there each winter and have always wanted to collect the Florida native Strangler Fig, its a Ficus variety that you see all over the state. They are the little balls of green you see way up high in nearly all the trees down there, very noticeable on the deciduos trees when they go bare, you have to look for them on the evergreens but they are usually present. They are spread by birds eating the figs and passing them seeds from them while setting in a tree. They can overpower a tree and grow roots to the ground and kill it by choking off the light. I would think they would make a lovely Bonsai, as all Ficus do. The only problem is that they are usually about 25 to 50 feet up in the air!
Good luck with the great buys you made on these nice trees, keep em green. By the way, where did you buy them?
