Is this a common name for it? __________________ "Success demands understanding"-Andy Rutledge Charles Bevan Vero Beach, Fl

Posts: 34	dbz12fan: I am not sure about it, I just got it from bonsai store with "Ficus Panda" label But I think that's common name - it's mentioned here for example: http://www.bonsai-bci.com/species/ficus.html
