This is a microcarpa ficus. It started from a cutting in 2019. It was repotted into the pot in June 2020. It has been wired and pruned several times over the past year.


My original thought was some kind of cascade. The big middle trunk was allowed to grow to thicken the main trunk. Beyond that I have never been happy with it.
So today, was the day to redesign. It was pretty straight forward. Cut off everything except the small branch on the lower left in the photo at right above and then wire the branch down to start a cascade. And I have a nice cutting to root and perhaps turn into a twin trunk or mother and daughter design.


What kind of Ficus is this? I hope its one of those with the tiny leaves? Are my cascade trees rubbing off on you? I saw you looking at them real hard when you picked up the tables for your workshop!
