Joan wrote about being anxious underneath trees after some large branches fell at her place. I didn’t really think about that as I sat under the Moreton Bay fig, possibly because the tree seemed so strong.
I can’t think of a time when I saw a large branches break off this tree, even though I’ve been coming to Jamberoo Abbey for over ten years, and sometimes experienced high winds and storms. Even when the yurt flew away in the middle of a gale, the tree seemed to come out relatively unscathed.
