Although Ficus is frequently found in wet areas, the tendency to rot and make poor jin is more related to the nature of the wood rather than the climate.

Hello to eveyrbody
I was looking in Google and found 2 bonsai with jin but they are
little specimen

the question: does anyone has some address or picture to show some
nice specimens with nice jin ?


Ficus with jin can't be too common, since I think it wold be difficult
to keep the jin from rotting away. They certainly can't be a common
sight in nature.

true not common at all in nature !

Ficus a is from Rain Forest where dead wood rots easily
but under our climates is different,so
I was wondering if someone dared to do it .
I had to cut an old one an apt tree and the wood was wery hard
Thanks anyway
