Pretty camellias. Why's that fiddle leaf hiding in the back?

The other tree shades it. We tried a few spots and when it was out of the sun, its leaves started to burn. When it was inside with sun, it grew, but too tall to fit. When it’s out of the sun, it’s sad. It’s a Goldilocks tree
They like A LOT of indirect light. It's scary but when they get really tall, you can chop em down and they grow back if they're healthy. Folks hate them because they think they're finicky but the truth is they're just not being rough enough with it. Lol.
My aunt had one that got to about 12 feet tall and she chopped it to like 6 inches. It came back twice as full and the parts she cut off sprouted roots. She abuses the hell out of it.
Ours goes above our house. It actually became a problem and took over because they thrive in this climate 😂
I had to cut a lot back since this photo because we had this bug thing, but it’s main branch is still above the house and it’s all coming back nicely
