FREE Ficus for newbies

[Steve C]

I was recently given about five different ficus from a friends father whom just had to go into an assisted living home. I kept a couple for myself, gave a couple to a friend, and have the above one left. Although I do like ficus I just have a limited amount of indoor overwintering area so I really can't keep anymore tropicals than I already have.

So since this site has helped me so much in the past few years I'd like to offer the above ficus to anyone that is somewhat "newish" to bonsai and in the local area and a member here. If you're a newer guy looking for another bonsai to mess with and are to pick it up it is yours completely free of charge. Obviously it needs some work but it could be a nice little tree down the road I think.

I am in Royal Oak (South East Michigan just North of Detroit). I won't be around this weekend but will be anytime after Sunday so just reply to this message if you're local and would like it.

I would love it if you're still looking to give it away. I've been into bonsai for a month or two now and have a few trees. I have really been looking for a ficus, but I am having 0 luck fi ding any around me.
