Hi!
I've had this ficus for 6 years and when I got it I noticed that only one branch appers to be dead, but I just taught it might just be a new growing one. Till this day it looks just the same as a I bought it (it didn't grow at all, no leaves have ever grown on it). I've have other branches that I have cut off and new ones started to go, but with this brach I don't know what to do. ( don't mess anything up)
So my question is... Is this a dead branch and what should I do with it?
Thank you!
P.S. the ficus has been growing very well and never had any type of disease on it, so I'm really confused about this weird branch
Help.

About the dead branch, just cut it off...
Have you ever reppoted it? If you want it to grow and thrive you should consider a bigger pot for some years...
Small pots are the last thing to do, I have 6 months old ficus that already reached this size (on winter), and it's on a 3,5L ~ 4L pot... I see a glass pot... does it have a drainage hole?
That looks like a ginseng ficus (a type of ficus grafted into another type's root), most people don't consider this as a 名媛直播, however, it's possible (but very hard) to make it look like a tree, or gather material from it to start other trees.

Cut the dead branch and repot it. You can still try and save that.

Just a little dead branch. Clip it off.
You say it is growing well. What is growing well for you? A healthy ficus in summer can push new leaves every other day. (What I can see, the tree does not seem too happy)
