Ficus Ginseng, also known as the "Ginseng Bonsai" is a living work of art that brings the tranquility of the East into your living space. One of the most distinctive features of Ficus ginseng is its thick and bulbous trunk, which often has interesting aerial root formations. The trunk can have a gnarled and twisted appearance, giving the tree a mature and aged look. This is one reason why it is an excellent choice for beginner bonsai tree growers.
