Received this rescue fiddle fig yesterday from someone who is no longer willing to care for it and hope I can get some ideas how best to manage it. Has 3 stems, 2 very tall (about 6-7 feet) and a shorter one at the base. The 2 taller stems are mostly bare with the leaves at the top. I would like to chop and prop the 2 taller stems and repot in the same container to make a shorter fuller plant if possible. If so, how much can I cut back the long leafless stems? Any advice appreciated. Here are some pics.

I need to do this in short order as my season for doing anything outside could end very quickly and I would like to get the cleanup done before bringing it inside as a more manageable size. Thanks for any thoughts!
