Wall Trees at Forbes Street 科士街石牆樹

Wall Trees at Forbes Street

The Forbes Street wall trees is the largest group of wall trees in Hong Kong.   These trees are Ficus (Banyan Trees) and have been growing on the masonry wall for over a century.

I sat down in a local pub,  the Limestone Arms and started sketching and I was really happy that Andrew, the owner of the pub treated me to a refreshing fruit punch while I was sketching.  Thanks Andrew!  

科士街石場樹群是香港最大組的石牆樹群。石牆本身已有過百年歷史而牆上樹群是由細葉榕組成。

我坐在酒吧 the Limestone Arms 速畫科士街石牆樹。老細 Andrew 見我用心作畫就請我飲杯 fruit punch。特此多謝 Andrew!
