[IBC] Is this a fig tree?
I just got another bonsai yesterday..unfortunately with nothing but the
price tag..so I'm not sure what species it is. I believe it is a fig..but am not sure. If it is a fig...then it does not need a dormant period? and therefore it is an indoor bonsai? Are figs ok with defoliation? Here is a few pics I took: http://www.geocities.com/dansastronomy/Bonsai.html any info is greatly appreciated..thx ************************************************** ****************************** ++++Sponsored, in part, by Evergreen Gardenworks++++ ************************************************** ****************************** -- The IBC HOME PAGE & FAQ: http://www.internetbonsaiclub.org/ -- +++++ Questions?

writes: If it is a fig.. Ficus benjaminia, weeping fig, common as a house plant all over the US. BUT should never be planted outside in warmer parts of the country as it will take over. ..then it does not need a dormant period? and It will still do better with some time outdoors therefore it is an indoor bonsai? Are figs OK with defoliation? Ficus Benjamin will frequently die back if all the foliage is removed from a branch or twig. Use tip pruning and removal of about 1/4 of the larger leaves at a time over a few months.
