How I envisioned our ficus tree to turn out:
How our ficus tree actually turned out:
As Andrew would say, "now, in my defense" the tree was looking pretty gangly in the first place. Apparently trees around these parts can't handle cooler temperatures at all. And when I say "cooler temperatures" I mean if it dips even slightly below 32* this wimpy little tree starts to shrivel up and die. A few months ago this happened and (despite putting 5 blankets and a heater on it) we ended up having to cut huge chunks of dead branches out of it. I feel as though the poor thing had a bad accident and is having to go through a series of surgeries to get back to it's normal figure...
