Ive had this large ficus for a few years. I've never really liked the form as it seemed more like a bush in a pot. I'm thinking about a banyon tree style similar to the small tiger bark of mine that I included the pictures of.

Any thoughts, comments, critiques ?

You could bend some of those long branches and thread graft them wherever you wanted branches. If it were me, I would repot and fertilize aggressively then cut it back hard to get new branches to pop.
