rescue fig

Post by Greenhorn »

hey everybody, my grandpa recentley just moved house and his new neighbour was thowing out this fig that his son had let at his house and since my gandpa new i would apreciate he told him he would take it. when i got it it was about a meter in height with a couple of branches and was completely root bound with several large tap roots so i gave it a good old hack up unfortunately i didnt remember my camera for the most of it so there is really only after shots. just wondering if i should leave the larger arial roots on or give em the snip? the main one i'm talking about is the one on the back near the chop?

thanks for reading :beer:
