| Hi All, So I purchased a Ficus Retusa (sumo style) from Meehan's this weekend. I'd been eyeing it for some time and decided to pull the trigger. I need help choosing a front! I like both sides for different reasons. I'm going to repot this summer and will begin branch development. It's currently in a large, deep rectangle pot. I think it would look best in a more shallow, oval pot. For reference, the base is roughly 6 inches. Anyway, let me know what you all think! Here is the current front. |

| The back. |

| The first side has better roots, but both sides could use some correction. I also like the trunk on the first picture better than the 2nd. |

| Thanks for the response. Both sides are in need of some serious root work. I'll take care of that when I do a full repot this summer. I like the shape of the second picture's trunk, but I think the first picture's flows better somehow. |

| Thams, I like the second side. It has a more welcoming balanced presentation. In fact, it looks somewhat like a Buddha with a Buddha Belly. Yeah, yeah that's it, Buddha Belly. Aloha |
