Some inclusions, rubbing branches,remove branch to avoid. Cavities on west side stem and in scaffolds. Some twig dieback,indicator of possible root crown problems? Roots lifting pavement.Aerial inspection recommended to assess cavities. Detail inspection of cavities to determine needfor Resistograph® testing. Remove large diameter (>50mm) deadwood, remove deadwood.Mulch root zone (min. 3.5m radius). Monitor.H 97.5138 Ficus rubiginosaPort Jackson Fig10 19 *970ABLM Fair - Sparse canopy. Some crossing, rubbing branches. Small tip dieback. Some large diameterdeadwood. Small diameter epicormics throughout. Stressed, some decline.Aerial inspection required in upper canopy of inclusions at stem/branch junctions, and also largediameter, crossing, upper scaffolds.
