Gina,

Glad to see the little fella pulled through!

Not to split hairs, or branches for that matter, but I think this is the one called 'Kiki" no?

I have never found them to be all that brittle. Like any benjimina however, they do scar easily and can, even without a visible break in the bark, die back if wired and bent too far.

In any event, it doesn't apprear wiring will even be an issue for quite some time.

Cheers,
