Eight years on and looking good


The photo on the left was taken in June 2009 as part of our biggest installation ever (at the time, we've since surpassed it).

This 3m Ficus Alii was the largest plant in the scheme and I'm happy to say that through our skillful maintenance it's still going strong.

We were working nearby in Winchester this morning with all the equipment to prune and clean a tree so we went in to give it a bit of a spruce up.

Below are before and after shots of that process.

Ficuses like this tend to get a bit 'wild and woolly' over time, but this one has stayed remarkably static in both size and shape.

Most of our plants are covered by a stipulation that if we kill it we replace it, so it's good for our bottom line to keep them going, but it is also very satisfying for us from a horticultural standpoint.
