You're thinking of the bonsai shop in WestWORLD, where the trees are actually robots. This one is run by a sweet older lady and her husband. I'm at least 70% sure they're not cybernetic.
Large leaves and course straight growth. Nothing that can't be overcome, its just that many ficus lend themselves more to bonsai. The figs they produce are beautiful and I am looking forward to getting some growth on mine.
It's still growing and healthy. I thin it out once in a while, but I suspect the trunk will thicken pretty slowly, and with the size and shape of the leaves, ramification will be a challenge. That being said, it really is a cool plant. Most of us have one or two specimens that we keep around just cause we enjoy them, even though we know deep down that they're not ever going to be much of a bonsai. This one is mine. Thanks for asking about it
So true.
