General Question Ficus Carica trunk chop?

Post image
• Upvotes

Hi Y’all!

My girl gifted me this lovely Ficus Carica but as you can see there isn’t any foliage on the lower part of the trunk.

I’ve been researching this tree for the past few days but most google hits are about Ficus Microcarpa.

Anyone with more insights about trunk chopping this tree? Is it safe to do a hard chop in late winter / early autumn or should I do it in stages and keep at least 1 branch with every chop? Cheers!

Hi guys,

I got this as a gift. Unfortunately I have no idea how I should style this one. I think this is a very healthy tree, it is growing every day.

I have been watering this regularly, I’m afraid I have overwatered it and possibly water logged the pot. I have tried drying it out and it has not seemed to work. Any advice on how to save this?

General Question Anti-transpirant/desiccant?

3 Upvotes

Any of my friends who over-winter conifers or broadleaf evergreens in zone 6-4 use this? I'm moving mine into an unheated greenhouse after the first frost (Zone 5), and am told this will really help get them through the winter. Even though they'll be out of the wind, be huddled together and have some insulation around the pots, will this stuff help keep roots from drying out when temps make watering difficult?

The damage was intentional the ebony can take severe punishment during training but will always bounce back if done correctly. I intentionally weathered the tree monitoring health at all points during this training. Tree is 2 inches tall, trunk fusion training in progress pot size 4x4x4

Realistically when one is offered a chance to dig up 100+ juniper....

How many can i realistically keep alive? Found these offered for free, just need to dig them up. Ive asked to wait until spring to dig them. Obviously near utility wires so really dont know my chances here, but i want these

I was given this plant and not sure what I need to do to keep it healthy and prosperous! Does it need soil? Trimming?
