Just for your information that Wiandi is common name of a boy in Indonesia.
It is quite possible that the Wiandi was the name of a person from Java who
happened to help the existance of the tree in Holand.

Subject: [IBC] 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.
BRBR

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.
