Hi guys!
So I have this Natal ficus and it was severely neglected. No pruning or repotting has been done to it in over 10 years or so. It was very pot bound in a small circular pot (the surface roots are hardened of in a circular pattern) and was potted into its current pot at the beginning of 2021. It has grown new leaves, but no new branches. I have been given the OK to do some major work on it, but would like your opinions first before I maybe take off too much. I'd like to have a fuller canopy and many more branches in the future. Where would you guys suggest I make the hard pruning cuts?
