I really liked trees that look airy like this... not too manicured.

I really enjoy Nigel's YouTube channel - and after watching it for some time, find when about to make a decision to prune off a larger limb - am ofter heard muttering "And, now here I go..."....
Anyway, interesting thread read and I absolutely agree with those who believe a Ficus will go ballistic being a bit root bound. I say that based on my own, a Ficus benjamina that I've had for about thirty years. The inside height of the pot is 3" - and the tree, after this summer outdoors - is coming on to 34" in height above the lip of the pot. This isn't where it sits during the Sping/Summer/Fall - but had to move it for the pic, as there are trees in the background where it resides...
I'll be pruning it back after its growing season is finished...

I’m growing this variegated ficus in a shallow tray with no drainage. Once a week or so I completely submerge it in a 5 gallon bucket of water. It’s very happy.
