At last.
Gave up on the idea of trying to graft the two trunks and took RayM advice where to cut. Might take a bit to recover I would say. But a fig being a fig they survive everything hopefully.

Hopefully you learnt something and so it's not all in vain... Onward and upward! Good luck with your next experiment.

Are you sure its not just sulking? Sometimes they take a little longer to bud back after such a drastic trim

I put it in a colander. Put it in there about a month ago. The bark has started to come away from the trunk at the root line.
I believe its gone to Fiscus heaven.
Haven't thrown it out.
The only thing I could think is a good soak in Seasol appears to cure all.
I have fertilised it in the last month.
Any other suggestions.
Cheers
Rae.
