Oriental Ficus Bonsai Tree
Banyan Style
(ficus orientalis)

Fig species which is native to South and South-East Asia. This Evergreen tree is particularly good for bonsai training as they produce sturdy trunks, a nicely branching shape and shiny leaves. Best to trim in early summer as the leaves that subsequently grow will be smaller than the ones removed. Ours is trained in the traditional upright broom style. Great for indoors year-round, the brighter the location, the more compact the growth.
