Ficus religiosa, the Sacred Fig Tree, is associated with Buddism as it's the tree under which Budda became enlightened. The original tree is said to still be living and any leaf that falls is quickly picked up as a good luck souvenir. Cuttings from the original tree were rooted and sent throughout the world for planting on the grounds of Buddist churches and such a tree exists two miles away from Fuku-Bonsai at the Puna Hongawanji in Keaau.

The Sacred Fig Tree is hardy in zones 10-11. In cooler regions it can be grown as a house plant, patio plant, or a bonsai!
