Hi all. I recently got this Ficus bonsai but the grower did not specify which species of Ficus it is. Apparently it grows red berries on it too.

Hi bones,
It looks like a Ficus benjamina Shorty or commonly known as Dwarf Weeping Fig.
Cheers

Thanks for the confirmation, Jamie.
Out of curiosity, how do you know it is the dwarf variety rather than a standard Weeping Fig? Is it the size of the leaves?
