well, back in the day of 1954 the ficus was a prized plant. the best way it can be pruned is on a steamy July day. you must first gaze at the ficus' beauty and figure out the best way you can love your tree in the very way it derserves to be loved. LOVE YOUR TREE and GROW MORE. :)
The best time to prune Florida ficuses is in the summer and when it rains. Avoid pruning during dry season or in the winter. Water help the ficus recover quickly from an effective prunning. It is also recommended that ficuses be pruned a lot before hurricane season. Prune all branches as you wish as ficuses are not affected by heavy pruning. Large ficuses have shallow roots and the canopy tends to overgrow in Florida making them vulnerable to hurricanes and strong winds. You can't go wrong doing substantial pruning to a ficus so long as it is watered properly, it receives sunlight, and is healthy. Pruning will extend its life as it will soon recover and flourish, especially when it is well watered and sunlit. So go ahead and show your love by pruning without fear. Your ficus will love you back!

Yes, if you wait until time starts going back, then the sap will be down, and you can top it then with out killing it. be sure to cut at a diagonal, so the rain will run off your fresh cuts, and not start holes into the tree itself, there for damaging the tree. Joy Co- Owner of Camp Tree Service

Why the tree stump continue to grow after the tree being chopped?
Because the top is only part of the tree. The rest of the tree, like an iceburg, is out of sight under ground. The roots supply the top of the tree with water. The leaves in the top of the tree convert light and water into the energy the tree needs to survive. So the tree tries to live on after the top is cut off, and will if left on it's own to heal (regrow).
