5000g, 40 cm in diameter, 90 cm tall: the monumental Ginseng:
When a Bonsai Ficus Ginseng reaches 5 kg in weight, a pot diameter of 40 cm and a height of 90 cm, it enters a completely different category from standard-sized specimens. The bulbous aerial roots - the most fascinating feature of the Ficus Ginseng - reach a size and complexity that require years, if not decades, to develop. Some are as large as potatoes, while others extend and intertwine to create structures of extraordinary sculptural beauty. The massive, gnarled trunk tells a story of slow, patient growth. The broad, dense crown completes this structure with a lush green mantle of small, glossy leaves. A specimen that is impossible to forget.
A collector's piece:
Large-format, heavy Bonsai Ficus Ginseng specimens are considered collector's pieces in the bonsai world. Their rarity is determined by the time required to reach these dimensions: each year of growth adds complexity to the roots, thickness to the trunk and density to the crown. A 5 kg specimen with a 40 cm pot represents years of patient growth and expert care. It is a botanical investment whose aesthetic value increases over time.
Comparison with smaller sizes:
-
vs D.16 H.45 cm - roots 3-4 times more developed, trunk twice the diameter, crown three times larger
-
vs D.22 H.65 cm - significantly more complex and striking root structure
-
Visual impact - at 90 cm, it becomes the undisputed focal point of any setting
-
Collector's value - heavy specimens are the most sought-after by collectors
For prestigious spaces:

Luxury gift for extraordinary occasions - an unforgettable and timeless gift

Interesting fact:
In the world of bonsai, a specimen's weight and dimensions are direct indicators of its age and value. Large-format Ficus Ginseng specimens are particularly prized in Asia, where they are considered symbols of longevity, prosperity and wisdom. In China and Taiwan, where Ficus microcarpa originates, large specimens are passed down from generation to generation as true family heirlooms. The name Ginseng refers to the resemblance between its bulbous roots and the precious medicinal root, which has symbolized vitality and longevity in Asian culture for thousands of years.
