So I originally started this tree with a very different idea. After a long time of trying I decided to take some advice that I got at the beginning and I am very happy that I did.

It has now been about a year since I completely lopped off the top of my tiger bark fig and you can see what a difference it has made. This is about a week after defoliation.

I am open to any advice or comments.

I prefer the back as front...maybe even better if you turn it 5-10 degrees counter clockwise.

Check the base on that though it might require you reposition the left branch a bit after.

Nice work! Also I agree the back view tends more to "draw you into" the tree. :D
