Ficus concina ?

[DougB]

I was intrigued with a Red Balete ficus (ficus concina I think). The new leaves are a beautiful red and slowly change to green. I have looked throughout the many online venders but have found nothing.

Can anyone help with a source for the Red Ficus, Red Balete, Ficus concina?

As always thanks.

I've yet to find any either. However, another Ficus that has red growth that changes to green you may like is Ficus ingens. Wigerts has them, they're small, but can still be rewarding.

Thanks Ryan I will check with Wigerts. I still would like to find the Ficus concina. How about it folks anyone else have any suggestions?

Check with Jerry Meislik. I read he was gifted many Ficus Concinna seeds from the Philippines a year or two ago.

Do they? They aren't listed on their site.

Wigerts has just listed pre-bonsai Ficus ingens. This I have found out is another red leafed ficus. They only have about a dozen left. I have ordered one so we will see. Still would like to find the Ficus concina.
