This 'Chicago Hardy' is growing all crookedly, and it has a weird hole in it so the wood is rotting slightly. Can this be saved? I was thinking about planting it upright, so that the main trunk is under the soil and the main shoot is growing straight up and down. Any thoughts on what I should do with this?

Let it be. When you repot it, you can reorient it. __________________ Encanto Farms Nursery http://encantofarms.com http://figs4fun.com http://webebananas.com "pitangadiego" everywhere

Not only reorient it but also bury it deeper so the healthy stem develops its own roots. __________________ Zone 6, MO Wish list: Galicia Negra, De La Reina - Pons, Genovese Nero - Rafed's, Sbayi, Souadi, Acciano, Any Rimada, Sodus Sicilian, any Bass, Pons or Axier fig, any great tasting fig.
