A lot of members here have posted about their fastest growing tress or plants.

I am curious about what you consider your slowest grower.

You know the one.

It;s the one that seems like it hasn't moved/grown at all since you got it.

Or the one that grew well at first, then came to a stand still.

I nominate my Zingarella.

I received it as a gift from a fellow member a few months past, and if I didn't know better I would swear it was made of plastic.

Beautiful tree/deep green leaves, dark green figs with a red eye.

Red terminal buds.

Only problem is it looks like it hasn't grown a single inch in all this time.

The figs look exactly like they did, when I first saw them.

The only new growth I have seen is a new bud, a tiny new leaf, and a couple of
tiny figlets.

it's gotten to the point, that I'm seeing imaginary new growth where non exists.

I was told it was a " slow " growing. But I had no idea...

What's your slowest grower?
