See how I saved this inherited old ficus tree by updating it. 

I brought this tree home from my mother's house and instead of trashing it, I decided to update it.

I had wanted a Cherry Blossom Tree so I decided to make one with the old ficus tree.  

I mistakenly thought I could pull the original stems from the tree trunk. You need wire cutters to cut the stems from the trunk.
