Hi Guys,
I collected this fig not far from my parents place about a year ago. It was growing out of a stump and was taller than me, so bit over 2 Meters high. I am really happy with this stock as it has an interesting root base and twin trunk. There are also a few smaller branching coming from the base. My plan is to let these grow out as sacrifice branches, they may or may not end up in the final design. The tree in my option would make a nice twin trunk but also multi-trunk in some years if the small branches are encouraged to grow out whilst developing the branch structure on the main two trunks.

I would love to hear everyone's thoughts, ideas and virtual designs for the future of this tree.

Anyone?

Rob,
I think your virt is the best way to style this tree. It uses the best of the movement and taper that these trunks have to offer.
I would leave out the smallest trunk on the left though. The second trunk has nice movement to the left at that point. If you leave the smallest trunk it will thicken the other trunk at the point of attachment and you'll lose that curve.
Not sure about the third trunk (right side) at the moment but would leave it for the moment to help thicken the base of the main trunk. When you get some branching above it might look redundant and can be taken off or it may develop into an important part of this tree. Time will tell.

Have fun with the development of this one.

Thanks Shibul I really appreciate your feedback come to think about it ou are right! i need to get rid of the left branch to save the taper curve on trunk two. Also lots of work to be done on roots but have a few plans there too.

HI Guys, would anyone else like to comment on this tree? I like hearing different perspectives

I think shibui nailed it although I would angle the top of the smaller tree on the left away from the bigger trunk slightly.
Good luck
