I have a Ficus that I have been working with for about 12 years. I started
a cutting that is now a nice tree. When I prune my tree i save the cuttings,
which do well.
I do not know the variety . The leaves look like a Benjamina and are
about that size, but the leaves are more leathery and the root swells. making it
a desirable Bonsai. From time to time I have lost all the leaves on some of
these trees. But they soon grow back. I have to treat this as an indoor
tree, but it goes outside for the summer. I have looked it up on the internet.
It appears to have a similar description as The Green Island. This is only a
guess on my part.
