I just bought this Focus rianne and I am not sure how to train the tree. Does anyone have any advice on a style for it? it has a weird curve in one large branch which might be a problem.
Thanks

Hi Jay, well if you want a very wide approach on styling your ficus I recomend you to visit this web site:

Hope it helps you.

Thanks, that is helpful.

personaly I would use this as a stock tree the trunk is much too tall to be a good bonsai. the main trunk can be airlayered which will give you a nice stump to start developing a new tree. any odd branches can be cut off and rooted.not a bad tree if you consider making 5 ot 10 nice starter trees out of it
