2003 November Demonstration
Denny Roche demonstrated with a ficus salicifolia, a tropical tree from Florida. Often called
a banyan tree, this species is able to survive continuously indoors.

Denny finishes setting up for the demo. A ficus salicifolia
forest is on the left.
Denny first gives the tree a "haircut" so he can see what he's doing.
Excess foliage removal continues.
Denny puts on heavy wire to lower the first branch.
John Luhnow, our benefit drawing chairman, won the finished tree in the raffle.
