Weeping Fig

    I have a weeping fig in my sitting room. it’s about 5ft tall. Originally the pot had 2, but one died. It is in a corner and I don’t turn it with the result of no leaves or growth on the back of the fig.

    My question is can I trim the branches at the back of the fig so it will fit in the corner better?
    Also the front is very bushy as I have never trimmed it at all. Can I snip away at the front also?

    Yeah cut away the branches at the back... no worries especially if they have no leaves/growth.
    Regarding the front, best to only trim a couple of inches off (2-3) at any time or it will look a bit messy. The best time is coming into a growth period so that the fresh growth will fill it in.
    Figs usually have a couple of rest & growth periods in any year...

    Thanks Lickys20

    I trimmed the back and it fits much better into the corner now and looks a lot better also.
