OP iowadahlia Member I Joined: Jun 2003 northern iowa	i have a huge rubber tree that is hitting the ceiling in my house, i hate to cut the top off,although i have done i successfully three times. i guess my question is will it hurt him just to let him kinda bend over as he grows i have him tied to the wall sort of so he won't bend over and break
