Anyone else getting elephant ear leaves 😂

Can we get a little friendly competition going? Who has the biggest leaf on their trees right now

This is a now one year old tree, started from rooted cutting last year around this time and it’s been throwing out some of the largest leaves I’ve ever personally seen might have to get the tape measure out haha

I have 2 trees tied for largest leaf. Both are about 12" of leaf material at the longest point. My hand measures 8" from wrist to middle finger tip, so I just eyeballed my measurements. Looked like about 1 1/2 hands. The first is Super Sweet 77 and the second is 5 Terre A. Trees are looking good here in 6A

Here are a few pics I took today.
Seems the average large leaves are around 10 to 13 inches.
With the largest still being Figue de Sollies so far.

There are many different shapes in the ficus world.
One tree can exhibit 3 or even more different leaf shapes.

Pretty cool.
