Imported Cascade Tiger Bark Ficus Bonsai – Root-Over-Rock Statement Piece
This one has presence. A bold imported cascade Tiger Bark Ficus with a thick, gripping base that wraps over stone, giving you that “found in nature” feeling, right on your bench. The movement is already there. The character is already there. Your job is the fun part: refine it.
Tiger Bark Ficus makes dramatic styles approachable because it’s vigorous, forgiving, and fast-growing. Give it bright light and a little consistency and it will reward you with new growth you can prune, shape, and wire into a cleaner, tighter canopy over time.
