| Description | Ficus ginseng bonsai is one variety of this large group of fig trees. It is most striking in appearance because it grows thick roots that stay exposed above the surface of the ground. As a bonsai, the effect is of a small tree standing on legs. The tree grows oval-shaped, dark green leaves. The leaves grow densely, giving you a thick canopy. |
