Attached is a picture of my Plaited Weeping Fig, the 2 original trunks have fused together. I am wondering if it will be worth the effort to continue with this tree?Plaited Ficus Benjamina.jpg:cool:
Thanks,,

I see a future in it. You can get a nice banyan look to it.

I would be happier with it if the trunk weren't so long. Those branches are rather large to be that high on the trunk. Still, I think it is workable.

BTW, I'd call it "twisted" rather than "plaited." Plaited trees need at least three trunks that are braided together.
