Bodhi Tree

Long, elegant drip tips finish the heart-shaped leaves of the Bodhi tree, a sacred fig revered across many cultures for centuries. In frost-free climates it becomes a broad, spreading shade tree. Gardeners in cooler regions grow it as a container plant or houseplant, and its vigorous, adaptable nature suits bonsai. Few plants carry as much meaning to share with friends and family. The tiny seeds need no pretreatment and sprout on the soil surface when kept warm, bright, and humid.
