Default Ficus 'Wiandi'

I recently bought a Ficus Wiandi labelled as an "Oriental Ficus" even though
I have discovered it was developed in Holland. BRBR
Does any one have any specific information on their training as bonsai.

The correct name is Ficus benjamina 'Wiandi.' The cultivar 'Wiandi' was
developed in Holland, but the parent species, F. benjamina, is from southeast
Asia.
If you do a Web search on Wiandi you will be inundated with information. One
page mentions that the branches are fragile. In the absence of specific data,
proceed as with F. benjamina.
