Leaning Ficus "Wilma"

[SockUnicorn]

Named for all the leaning trees in florida affected by hurricanes. I go with the term "wind influenced" and not windswept.

I like the idea but how stable is it?

How do I best answer this haha? It's got wire holding it like any tree, but just one tie, nothing excessive. I'm sure by now the roots are establishing underneath the soil line pretty solidly since I repotted a few months back.

Nice.

Questioning stability is the essence of this yes?

Well done!

Very uncomfortable!

Nice. I'd like to see a drop branch on the left. Otherwise, great tree.

Growth and wiring, gonna be some nice ramification at the end of the year. The back of the tree is coming along as well as it had to be built from scratch.

Nice use of the material, it looks good from here!
Interested to see it this fall after some more branching and wire.

Yeah me too. Some nice ramification is incoming, and I didn't want to wire everything too cleanly considering its going to grow out of it soon.
