So you have a fig with some funny growth. NO. 1! Alive. 2. Growing. 3. It got pruned wrong by it's owner. Would that be you? ;-))
I have Paridiso, but it's a one trunker, very vigorous, so might be Nero. Paridiso does put out more trunks. It's vigorous.
Stick it in a bigger pot, and once it gets it's juice going, prune it and send the cuttings to me! Or re-pot it so the trunk faces up!
