I think I might have made a possible fatal mistake with my Ficus Nerifolia. I wasn't happy with the surface roots so I thought that since ficus root so easily with cuttings I could layer it and develop a nicer nebari. But, after six weeks the only root that emerged was smaller than a toothpick. My question is, will it survive with the trunk missing a 3/4" band of bark and cambium? Also, if it does live do you think that it will ever heal over? I'm probably not the only one out there that tried this and didn't succeed. Your comments would be greatly appreciated.
