The Green Island Ficus (Ficus microcarpa 'Green Island') is a very hardy tree, particularly great for banyan-style bonsai. Grown indoors or out, it develops beautiful pads and great aerial roots, producing ornamental figs, unique spotted gnarly bark, and tiny chartreuse foliage.
From the Director's Collection: this tree comes from the personal collection of Josh, Bonsai Bar's Director of Horticulture — developed and refined under his care before being offered for sale.
One-of-a-kind tree: the bonsai pictured is the exact tree you will receive, professionally styled by the Bonsai Bar team and planted in a terracotta training pot.

Shipping & Arrival
To ensure safe delivery, we prefer to ship trees between Monday and Wednesday at the latest, so your bonsai is never caught in an accidental weekend delay. Some leaf drop during shipment is completely normal. If leaves drop in transit, place your tree in a very sunny spot and water only once the topsoil has dried out — take care not to overwater while the tree has few or no leaves.
