I just bought this fig on sale but was wondering why the branches pointing downwards ? Has anybody seen this before ?

Looks like it may have died back and resprouted from the base and/or it may have been under other plants and vying for sunlight. Make it into a 3D espalier.

Local nursery, 5 bucks so not really a big loss. I just took all the leafs off since they were all yellow . Just never seen a fig like that .im going to look more into 3d espalier.

I think this plant was made to look like that if it's a good fig it's goign to be easy to be air layer. Nice find.

Good Deal you got! Good Luck !

Nice one. Plant it slanted in a bigger pot after you cut branches on one side.
This way the branches will point upward after you prune them a bit.

Hi Ilikefigs,
This is a common sight for me. Lots of small pot grown fig trees will look like that - perhaps as they are kept root-bound for too long.
You don't need to worry. Just let it grow in ground or in a bigger pot and it will grow upright .
