| Its Ficus microcarpa and from my knowledge the source of the bonsai material heralds from Okinawa Island, Japan. Some people think its from Green Island off Cairns- but this isnt the case at all. This Ficus has been often called ctv 'Panda' or Ficus americana 'Panda' in Europe. From Kris |

thanks Kris , have you seen it growing down your way ?
Imagine it would be a little cold hardy . |

Yes, I have seen it being grown as a bonzai in nsw and the native australian form of microcarpa is to be found down to Gympie in SE QLD and when planted in NE NSW it grows easily.
Im in NQ permanently now though
cheers from Kris |
