Tree #225 is a Tiger Bark Ficus with a low, curving mother trunk — pale tiger-stripe bark and all — joined by slender secondary trunks that rise together into a dense, rounded crown of glossy leaves. It stands about 16 inches tall in a rectangular 7″ × 6″ plastic training pot.

Tiger Bark Ficus is one of the best indoor bonsai you can own — it thrives in ordinary household light and warmth, shrugs off missed waterings, and back-buds eagerly after a trim. The tree in these photos is the exact tree you’ll receive, hand-raised at our Southern California nursery.
