Need help with I.D.

[dg66]

I've been interested in starting bonsai for a little while now and I found this at the grocery store when I was shopping so I decided to purchase it to practice on, but it didn't have any sort of identification as to what it is. If anybody could help me with that it would be greatly appreciated and any tips or pointers would be as well I already plan on getting it out of the moss and into some good quality bonsai soil. Thank you ahead of time

Sounds like a good plan.

Got a better photo?

 

[dg66]

Thank you Sorce, I know exactly what you mean by "welcome to crazy" haha

Brian all I have are the photos I had already taken but if these aren't any better I can take some more when I'm home tonight

I'd check with Smoke on this. He is usually pretty good at identifying plants.

 

[Brian Van Fleet]

Ficus of some kind. Microcarpa probably.

I agree with bvf it looks like a regular variety ficus microcarpa.

Green Island Ficus microcarpa. Pretty easy trees to care for.

Isn't anybody going to tell him to remove the glued on rocks and the moss?
It should be done pretty soon. It will let air in and out. They put these together like this so they stay together during shipping.

M. Frary I've already got that covered thank you though!
