Narrow Leaf Ficus Pre Bonsai
The Willow-leaf fig is an evergreen fig tree native to China and the Himalayas where it can be found in coniferous and broadleaf forests. It can grow up to 50 feet tall in its native subtropical habitat, though it is commonly seen as an indoor bonsai. As a full grown tree, Willow-leaf fig has smooth, grey bark, leathery leaves up to 7 inches long, and produces 4 inch rounded, edible figs. The common name, Willow-leaf fig comes from the leaves similarity to weeping willows. The Willow-leaf fig thrives in heat and humidity and you should keep it in a sunny, warm location with consistent moisture. At temperatures below 60 degree F., it will stop growing. It tolerates pruning very well, is easily shaped, and is often kept to a height of about 3 feet. It produces aerial roots and the foliage tends to be dense, which only enhances its appeal as a bonsai.
