The tree has put out a lot of new growth and has begun to fill in its new shape. I will just let it grow out this year and regain its health. Next year it will be styled. This one won’t take long to finish. I think you can see the general shape at this point. It will be shorter and the left branch will need to put out more growth as well. Aug 2006

March of 2006, Roy Nagatoshi was touring Florid. He held a workshop at our club and I thought this would be a great to to work on. As you can see the tree was shortened dramatically, but it solved a number of problems for this tree. Many scars we removed and the shape of the tree can finally be determined.
As a side note: When I was sawing this tree to shorten it the saw slipped and cut into my hand. It needed six stitches to close the wound. I’ll never forget the workshop. Mar 2006

I finally took the time to sort through all the new growth branches. Wasn’t easy but a lot to choose from. As you can see branches are sprouting out in all the right places. I need to clean up the large cut near the top to give it a better taper, but this tree should really take some shape this year. April 2005

By the end of Summer this tree was well on its way to a full recovery. Notice however the leaves on the left branch. They have reverted back to the full size leaves. Remember Ficus Too Little is a mutation and will at times revert back to its original tree type. I will remove that branch in time to grow one with smaller leaves. (August 2004)
