Why This Species Makes an Ideal Christmas Tree Bonsai
The Ficus retusa is famous for its aerial roots, strong character and calm, tropical presence. These roots descend from branches and may form secondary trunks over time, adding dramatic structure and personality. Its thick, leathery dark green leaves create a rich, full canopy that suits any indoor setting.
This hardy species thrives indoors all year round and adapts well to a range of environments, making it a superb Christmas tree bonsai gift for beginners.
