See my dead ficus in the middle

Hi,

Please help - to prune or not to prune?? The tree in the middle looks half dead... there are some new leaves coming out at the top... but how will the middle ever come to life?
Do I prune the top of the tree or leave it?
Thanks,
Michelle

Dear Michelle

thank you for asking and sharing,

first let me just say : "Don't you worry" if there is a new growth like you where mentioned and you can see new green leaves (no matter where on the tree for now) its a great sign and I'm very encouraged.

you where also mentioned that this is a ficus tree?! can you please send me a new high quality picture so i can get a better look. a closer look would be better.

please provide the following details, they will help me to be more accurate and thorough. so.... here is what i need:

1 picture of the main trunk
1 picture of the new growth
1 picture of a general closer look
what season are you in now?
when was the tree where pruned?

Would love to help
