to chop my ficus again?
hey guys i posted in oct 2011 about a few trees i acquired one being a very tall straight fig i found on the side of the road with no pot haha but i soaked it let it recover it was 1m at the time so then chopped it down to about 500mm i probably should have cut it shorter but i thought i would leave it a touch on the conservative side and not restrict my self later on. so here it is 8 months later and cant quite decide on the hight to do my next chop any advice would be very much appreciated and is it too close to winter to do a chop?
