How this tree for a while in a flower pot but I think it belongs in the ground. Although I like it, I am afraid to plant it. I was told that it grows to be a very large tree and that i grows very big roots that can be damaging to structures. I don't know if the person that told me that really knows. It also looks like a tree that lets out lots of leaves and I don't need anymore leaves than what my house tree gives me every year, I've had it with leaves.. Can you share what you know about this tree?
Thank you Junglekeeper. Yes that is the name. Did some reading on it. The tree can grow up to 98 feet but it don't tell me about the roots wich I would like to know about. I don't want to find out later that my floor is going to break... I'll do some more research. At least I got the name now. Thank you again..
Yes, if it is hardy outdoors in your part of the state it eventually produces a banyan-like specimen with broad canopy.
If I was to cut the whole top of the tree! Will it grow new branches? I am planing on bringing it indoors after looking at a picture of a nice one that was pretty full of leaves, nice and rounded. mine has no form and not like quite that nice. Can it be cut and left with no branches so it could grow new ones? If so, what would be the best way to cut it?
Tree is sparse because it has already had a hard time, whacking on it will not improve things. For a fuller specimen give it some TLC instead.
