Ficus benjamina - Palm Tree

I believe the dictionary describes "cute" as interesting and ugly. This tree fits the descriptions but it'll be a long way from cute for a very long time.
This was growing at the foot of an Alexandra Palm so half of the tree was pushed up against it, the from was always what attracted me to it but what to do with the back will be to ignore it for a very long time.
see what you think and if you have suggestions, happy to take on board,
regards
Watty

How do you find carved benjis survive Watty ? I find if I don't seal it up with latex paint they rot - the bark turns a brown colour where it has rotted and I have to chase it back to live tissue.

I'd have to say I don't really have a rot problem, they don't have substance and are not good for the long term but what the "H" I enjoyed rippin into it. What'll become of it, who Knows?
