Question
Will, I am trying to create a new center to get the tree to grow upwards.  It continues to grow in every direction except up.  Is there a way to achieve this?

Answer
Hi Sharon,

I replied to this question on 1/29, but it appears that you did not read it. Here is an excerpt from my previous reply.

"I don't understand what you are trying to do. Are you trying to get your Ficus to fill out in the center? Or are you just trying to get it to grow taller?

Can you explain in more detail what you are trying to achieve? It would also help me give you better information if you could email some photos of your Ficus to me at [email protected]."

Regards,
Will Creed
