Answer 1

Unfortunately, that is not a weeping type. Trimming it like this will kill it.

Here is an article for the pruning of this type of Ficus:

Further doctor I want it to have a shade forward becuase on back there is a wall. I want to have it a shade so that we can sit and park vehicle under it, kindly guide

Answer 3

@Bush Doctor thanks for the reply, I want to grow it big to have an umbrella shape. Do I need to cut it at all and do tell should I untie it? I have read the article but I am still not clear. Kindly refer to a guide having images as used for clarity.
