I have a ficus that I bought as a half-baked bonsai at Lowe's. It's grown quite a bit and I want to start pruning it to give it a more unusual look. it had been topped and there was some of that green pruning tape tied tight around it, and below that the base had swollen, like a big caudex. How does one repeat that effect? I'm not much of a disciplinarian, but with a ficus maybe I can summon my inner sergeant. ;-)

I forget the variety, but it isn't a benjamina or elastica or pumila.m Or edulis.
