Ficus petiolaris Baja vipp 8-27 forming small populations sparsely spreadThe Sonoran Rock Fig. A lovely little caudiciform tree, excellent for Bonsai. Native to rocky outcrops in Baja California to Oaxaca, this plant has developed great drought tolerance by way of its thick caudex.

Gradually, remove the mounded soil as the root system develops. In time it will form a solid root
