Thanks for the message.

Ficus virens/infectoria is a large, wide spreading, fast growing deciduous tree,
cultivated to adorn roadsides as an avenue tree. The leaves are about 4" long
ovate or ovate-oblong. Heavy root pruning in the spring and complete
defoliation twice during peak summers considerably reduces the size of the
leaves (about 1"). Medium to large size Bonsai looks very good, especially if
trained in its natural shape i.e. like a wide mushroom!

Pretty tree. How large are the leaves? Do they reduce well for bonsai?

Thanks.
