This tree was given to me by my friend David Fukumoto of Fuku-Bonsai in 2004. Its history can be seen at

Re: Defoliated my Rainforest Fig
WOW Jerry after buying your book there was no doubt you have some stunning trees and this is a great example of one of them. How often do you re-pot a tree of this Calibre?
