Willow Leaf Ficus

Ficus salicifolia, Ficus neriifolia, Ficus subulata and even Ficus mexicana ........................
now- Ficus salicaria

Willow Leaf Ficus 


Even though it is a tree of "uncertain provenance", it is the best ficus for bonsai training.

    I just got my first bonsai this week and it is a willow leaf too. How did you get the trunk to get bigger? Does that happen from keeping the top shortened?? I really like your tree it is beautiful.

    Thank you
    With time the trunk will get bigger
    make sure that the surface roots are exposed
