[IBC] Heart tree
Hi Catherine: The leaf of Ficus microcarpa is the same shape with ficus
retusa's. Only microcarpa's is smaller. They are not of a heart shape.

The Ficus religiousa has heart shaped leaves. Perhaps that is what you were
referring to.

Religiosa grows in India and quite a lot in Thailand as bosai. It is due to
Ficus religiosa is concidered a sacred tree by Budhism and Hinduism. Majority of Thais are Budhism. It grows in many countries in South east asia including Indonesia.

Is the religiousa the one that India has so many of?

Hi, Thank you for the info. Does anyone on the list have a religiosa that is a few years old? Though I don't have one, a local greenhouse has one that's at least a couple decades old, and is more-or-less bonsai-ish... for bonsai, the leaves are very large, and it looks to be that wounds don't heal quickly (i.e., within the five or six years I've seen this plant), though this is a pretty pot-bound plant that might heal more quickly under better conditions... I could take and post pictures of it, if you like. Patrick Alexander |

Hi,
Thank you for the info. Does anyone on the list have a religiosa that is a few years old? Cathy Catherine Spence Calley zone 6/7 I missed the front of this thread, so I don't know what I'm replying to. I wouldn't call the leaves of a Bo tree "heart-shaped", because the tip is very elongated. It's more like a bloody heart with a long drip coming from it. I have had one for 8 years. It is not a very satisfactory plant for my growing conditions, because it needs long hot summers. Just as soon as it starts to really grow, I have to bring it indoors, where it drops its leaves and goes dormant. It would probably do better if I had gro-lights and a warmer room, but the rest of my indoor bonsai want cool winters, so it's stuck with what I have. -- Nina Shishkoff Riverhead, NY ************************************************** ****************************** ++++Sponsored, in part, by Evergreen Gardenworks++++ ************************************************** ****************************** -- The IBC HOME PAGE & FAQ: http://www.internetbonsaiclub.org/ -- +++++ Questions?
