The ficus, also known as a fig tree, holds a place of spiritual and religious significance in many religions around the world. It is said that Buddha was meditating under a ficus when he first found enlightenment and the fig tree is mentioned in the holy texts of Hinduism, Christianity, Islam, and other faiths. The fig tree is a symbol of nourishment and growth. It is fitting that it would be the raw material for a bonsai, a symbol of the rewards of diligence, patience and hard work. This specimen is carefully crafted from a preserved grapewood trunk with artificial foliage added. The preserved trunk gives it the look and feel of real wood. The artificial foliage will not wilt or rot. In fact, the tree is virtually maintenance free. Keeping a live bonsai is an art and requires a great deal of care, sometimes daily. Live bonsai trees need careful pruning as well as diligent watering and specific lighting conditions. Our artificial bonsai trees never need to be pruned or watered and do not need natural light. That means no pruning equipment to buy, not watering schedule to maintain, and no messy spills or clippings to clean up. This fine specimen will add a touch of natural beauty and grace to any space and goes well with a variety of decorating themes.
