Phillipine Ficus
This is a Ficus phillpinenesis i've had for about 10 years.It has lived it's life mostly as an untrained "broom style".A couple of years ago it froze to the trunk(several fused trees along with their ariel roots).I've been thinking about training it in a more dramatic(?) style.....any suggestions?


thanks

Looks like banyon style might fit this tree well also.

.. with ficus broom becomes banyon with sun, humidity and tip prunning.. nice roots.. I would let it grow out and bring the canopy down to the level of the right side growth. Phillpinenesis
are vigorous growers and love to root...
