Share Your Ficus Bonsai Photos
Ficus bonsai photos appear in many bonsai books, with good reason. Throughout the world, Ficus is one of the most exciting tropical plants to work with.
Novice to expert bonsai artists can quickly establish a tree-like form for bonsai Ficus.
With experience and time these figs can become highly prized specimens.
Bonsai shown here was created by Dave Bogan, Lynnville, IN.
If you haven't read the two pages on Ficus bonsai and 'the origin of Ficus nerifolia as bonsai' story take a minute and see them now.
(There are additional photos on those pages.)
There are hundreds of Ficus varieties suited to bonsai. Most tropical bonsai collections have at least one variety, often more. Some species are well known; others we're not even sure of the scientific names.
Do you have one (or more of these) tropical beauties?
Please share them with us!
If you're ready, be sure to give the size (sometimes it's hard to tell in photos). Tell about the container.
Let us know how long you've had your tree and where you got it. What did it look like when you started working on it?
Do you have a future plan for the tree? We would like to know that too.
If you don't live in the tropics, please tell us about your specific winter care.
Anything else you'd like to share will be welcome. And don't forget to give your name and where you live.
