"You don't really see alot of tropical trees with shari/jin on them."

That's because tropical environments rot exposed wood pretty quickly. It's not really natural on a tropical species (with some notable exceptions, like causarina and some others). Additionally, if the tree is growing like a weed, jin and shari would "fill in" with scar tissue pretty quickly. You would have to re-create, or at least re-cut, jin and shari on a ficus every year or so to keep it.

Also, a lush, fast growing tree is incongruent with deadwood. A prosperous tree that can grow freely rarely has alot of deadwood on it...
