Healthy ficus

I am continuing to let this tree grow unrestrained with the exception of selectively removing overly large leaves from time to time. The foliage overall is reducing very well along with fairly good ramification. It seems to be enjoying the summer weather.

Nodes are getting REAL close together!!! Awesome job gettin' this sucker to "ram-up" Now.....about that "gaping bellybutton........"

Or should I say, "Nodal Spacing"?

I think he needs to put a small pay telephone in there. <g>  Or a drinking fountain.

Nice tree, Tom.

Thank you Lance and Jim....I appreciate your input.  Actually, a friend of mine suggested putting a miniature wooden woodpecker in it....but finding one might be a challenge
