Ficus Bonsai Specimen (Ficus retusa) | 4.5–5.0 m

This is not a tabletop bonsai — it is a heritage-class Ficus retusa standing 4.5–5.0 m tall, trained over many years into a massive outdoor bonsai form with a sculpted trunk, exposed root structure, and artfully shaped canopy. At AED 19,500, this is a once-in-a-lifetime centrepiece tree for the most discerning Dubai landscapes — a living work of art that commands attention from every angle.

Key Features

• 4.5–5.0 m height — a monumental outdoor bonsai specimen representing decades of skilled cultivation and training
• Sculpted trunk and canopy with the gnarled, characterful form that defines true bonsai artistry at scale
• Dense, glossy evergreen foliage that maintains its trained shape year-round in Dubai’s warm climate
• Supplied without planter (nursery pot / root ball only) — ready for landscape installation or placement in a bespoke container
• Available at AED 19,500 — a premium collector’s specimen priced to reflect its age, training, and irreplaceable character

Why It Works in Dubai

Ficus retusa is one of the most reliable tropical trees in the UAE, thriving in full sun, tolerating sandy and alkaline soils, and handling extreme summer heat without stress. The species is already widely established across Dubai landscapes in its standard form — this bonsai specimen simply elevates that proven resilience into something extraordinary. Its dense root system and mature trunk indicate a tree that is deeply established and will transition smoothly into a new position. Once planted or placed, it requires only moderate watering and occasional canopy maintenance to preserve its trained form.
