Imported Cascade Tiger Bark Ficus Bonsai – Compact Cascade With Classic Character
This is a clean, classic cascade with a compact canopy that reads like a miniature tree shaped by wind and time. The trunk has real character, the line flows naturally, and the unglazed Japanese pot keeps the presentation earthy and timeless.
Tiger Bark Ficus is the reason this style stays fun instead of stressful. It’s vigorous, forgiving, and fast-growing—so you can refine density and silhouette quickly with a simple rhythm: grow → prune → refine → repeat.
