As the tree stand today and a very rough vert of where I see it going. The more I look at the vert the more I believe I will drop the canopy by another 4-inches or so. Needless to say, my luck with ficus has been scantym so I have been going very slowly. much of the foliage seen is new since the repot, hopefully it is recovering. Next summer I will start removing wedges from the root ball until in 3-4 years I have them sorted. As for the trunk hights, I plan to reduce them again as the new branches come out. The centermost trunk will form the apex with the highs deminishing to the front and sides.
