Ficus carica - Fig - 42 cm

Bonsai of Ficus carica (fig), a deciduous fruit tree, is a plant with a strong Mediterranean charm, prized for its sinuous trunk and ability to produce true figs. The foliage has large, lobed leaves, representing one of the distinguishing features of the species: in spring it is a bright light green colour, during summer it takes on more intense shades, while in autumn it tends to yellow-green, and it sheds its leaves in winter. The fig's flowers are distinctive and barely visible, as they develop inside the fruit itself, called syconium. The real ornamental attraction is therefore the fruit, the figs, which are initially green and turn darker as they ripen, generally appear from late spring until summer and ripen between summer and early autumn. Characterized by a lively and harmonious trunk that gives balance, dynamism and naturalness to the entire bonsai. Cultivated in a rectangular bronze glazed stoneware pot, it creates an elegant contrast to the green vegetation and the light shades of the bark.
