Ficus Bonsai

Ficus Retusa Ginseng or Microcarpa is the most widely used variety of Fig tree for Bonsai, and is generally considered the easiest Bonsai to care for. Some have short, thick, multi-stemmed trunks, others have taller S shaped trunks. In its natural habitat aerial roots grow directly down to the ground where they anchor and become additional pillar like trunks. Extremely old trees can become forest like and cover a large area.
