The Long island bonsai tree may look like a basic plant with narrow and droopy glossy green leaves, but it is a tropical specimen that has very specific growing requirements. While it is finicky, few plants are quite as flexible as the ficus. A ficus tree in your home or in your landscape will typically grow into a small shrub or tree. Spring is best to plant a focus root ball directly in the ground.

It is a rapidly growing tree; new growth typically appears in a few weeks. It is distinguished by its glossy leaves, smaller stature, and a more ‘friendly’ root structure.

The sap of a ficus tree is toxic to humans and pets.
