What happens when you trunk chop an S-shaped Ficus?

This, I imagine...eventually.


Picked this guy up a couple days ago and had it shipped to me from Florida. It's gonna throw a fit, but we'll be okay.

Where from in Florida?

Hopefully, you are not going to encourage that aerial root just starting.

The roots already in position there are beautiful as a pattern goes.

Now for the branches and leaves .................................
Thanks for showing.
Good Growing
Good Day

This was a private grower. Had to convince him to ship, it was "local pickup only."

You could always just straighten it....

Kinda did that. The root wrapped around back, so I just cut it and stuck it in the soil.
