Masterpiece
I have a small Ficus salicaria (it's willow leaf ficus '89 I've been told). I cultivate it outside in spring & summer and move it inside under light for the winter. Each year when moved it sheds all its leaves and then new leaves are growing but only at the tips of branches.
Two years ago I defoliated late spring in order to get back budding but the tree failed to do so.
So now I wonder perhaps I would better cut the branches back in order to achieve the desired result in back budding.
I appreciate any suggestions.
