Description: Caption: "A huge wild fig, F. natalensis in Bathurst, Sept. 1963. It stands on the corner opposite the Pig & Whistle Hotel. The overall spread is 56 yards one way and 47 the other, yet there is only one main stem. Ii is amazing that lateral branches can remain in place without splitting at the main stem. One large branch broke off in ca 1975. A large branch broke off in 1983. The rest were cut back to the main trunk. The main stem of the big wild fig at Bathurst town showing how close to the ground the branches start to spread. Sept. 1963. Planted in 1918."
