If you cut off the top of the ficus, how will the shoots grow?

Ficus pruning is performed in order to form a bush. How to trim correctly? For this, it is necessary to know the characteristics of the development of the plant. A new sprout emerges from the bud. The buds are located at the top, as well as between the leaf petiole and the trunk. The kidney at the top develops faster and blocks the development of the lateral kidneys. Trimming the top of the ficus tree during the period of active growth makes it possible for the development of lateral buds. Shoots of equal strength appear, growing in different directions. They will form the dense crown of the plant.
