Probably "Benjamina Exotica" - typically sold in little bunches like yours, here in Holland. Often wrapped in hessian cloth - so they already look like a tree with a big fat trunk....

Hi Charles,

How is your rainy day project going with your Ficus tree project? I am thinking of doing this also and would like to know if you have any advice in doing this?

I have restored it to health, but not much can be said about the fusing of the trunks and the dropping of the aerial roots. __________________ "Success demands understanding"-Andy Rutledge Charles Bevan Vero Beach, Fl
