on my hunt for a ficus sumo today having no luck finding what i was after in a sense of a trunk that had been cut down and worked a bit i got this standard.
took a whole heap of cuttings and have done an "antonio chop" on it
i am undecided on which should be the front so instead of making one angled cut i made an offset v, just incase i wanted to change my mind and it would allow me to grow side branching too 
i cleared off a couple of the roots that didnt look to great either and this is where it is at now, i would have to say give it another 2-3 weeks at most before i see buds popping all over the place.
now both fronts have possiblities but i think one has a bit more potential than the other, i will let you guys say what you think first before i let ya know what my thoughts on front chosen by nebari is
as it stands right now it is only about 6cm tall, at the base before the nebari it is about 5 cm across and the nebari spread is approx. 20cm at the widest points.
cheers.
jamie
