I’ve had this ficus for 9 years now. The poor thing has been shipped from FL, CA, NY, TN, back to FL where it has lived the last 6 years unkept at my parents house. It had become a mess of leggy branches with no inner buds.

Tonight i decided to clean it up a bit and see if i could bring to back to something decent. It’s sorta always been my “whatever” experimental tree but i think I’m getting to have a soft spot in my heart for it. It will always be the tree a mess with when I’m back down south.

Now i just hope develop some ramification and some aerial roots on the right side.

It does remind me of a lot of mine. I am trying hard not to let mine grow to leggy. Next summer I will chase back a lot of growth.
