Height (including pot): 32cm
Pot diameter: 13.5cm

A member of the Ficus family distributed in warm regions of Japan,
characterized by its aerial roots that grow as it develops.

It has better cold tolerance than the banyan tree (Gajumaru)
and can overwinter outdoors in areas where frost does not occur.

It prefers sunlight but has shade tolerance,
so it can also be placed indoors as a houseplant.

Pruning will cause Ficus's characteristic white sap to appear.
Some people may experience skin irritation upon contact,
so it is advisable to wear gloves when pruning or performing other maintenance.
