FWIW
I ran "ginseng ficus bonsai" through google images, which is what I always do, if I want to see if a particular tree/plant might make a credible bonsai. It tends to work rather well. In this case, crappus is all that comes up in the images. :

Now run nerifolia ficus bonsai through the googler, and more promising images are revealed:
