Please Advise How to Prune This FLF


Hi!

So this is my second request. Please advise how to prune this FLF, assuming it can still survive.

I have had this FLF for over 5 years. It was over 5 feet tall initially, but got damaged from construction dust and was then eventually left outside – neglected as I got preoccupied with « life ».

I increased the contrast and brightness of the soil/ root system so that one can see what I’m working with.

I was tempted to purchase another fiddle from Costco, but I prefer to nurse the ones I have back to health.

Thanks! 🙂

    I’d prune the tall stem down to where that black zip tie is in pic 1.

    I would also definitely add some soil at the bottom and around the root ball so that the top of the visible soil is an inch or two below the lip of the pot. Without a repot I don’t know that a prune would even be beneficial so make that a priority.
