Here is a recent picture of this tree. It was allowed to grow out some this year to gain more branching and just let it get healthy. I will look for a smaller pot this winter. Tree was corrected in the pot. Sept 2006

One year later and the tree has really filled in a lot more. As you can see I bent many of the branches on the right side more downward. This balanced the tree very well. Also by bending other branches down along the trunk line I am able to hide the thin trunk near the middle. Sept 2006

I rewired this tree in order to get some control of all the new growth. I don’t expect this tree to really have a defined shape until next summer. However I believe the basic outline can be seen at this stage. Sept 2006

This tree has never looked better than this. I cleaned the trunk last winter with some white vinegar to remove some mold. However it dried out a few fine branches along the trunk. So now I have the bare spot right in the middle. The nice thing about ficus is their ability to recover, so it won’t be long until I have a nice full canopy again. Sept 2006
