Here is a BenjaminaFicus that I tore all the leaves off of a couple weeks ago. It's just now putting out its new sets of leaves. Even though it it puts forth leaves all year round, I couldn't resist throwing it on thus thread. The leaves should turn darker as it puts more out but at least it's new leaves will be alot smaller than the original ones I clipped off it. I've been having issues with thrips on my ficus so this year I'm trying a systemic bug killer and so far, it seems to be working well. Between the thrips on ficus, and the aphids on my crape myrtles the last couple years, bugs have started to become an issue. Hopefully, this year will be different and I can be more proactive instead of reactive when it comes to the pests for my trees. I don't like usING chemicals but they really he left me no option.

Don't be jealous. A lot of these poor bastards are carrying their trees in and out every day.
We just lost our snow here too.
And it is snowing here!!! Maybe another 4" or more of fresh snow, on top of the 2' that fell last week!
My Nanking cherry is fully awake in the cold room though!20170322_072908.jpg 20170322_073004.jpg

I'm calling spring in Ohio. Trees out around the unfinished pond are out for good. I hope...IMG_20170323_162529975.jpg
