Ficus Retusa - for the tropical lovers

This ficus has been transformed over the last 2-3 seasons from long and leggy to short and stout. I cut it back hard again 6-8 weeks ago and it is back budding and filling in nicely. The pot is 23" and the nebari fills it. It now needs a bigger pot.

Anyway, the plan is, after taking it down and making it more compact, to rewire it and focus on developing the branching. That is, if I still have it. I presently have it offered for sale since it is one of the few tropicals I own, and I really don't want to own any....
