Does anyone know if there is a seller of Tissue Culture Willow Leaf Ficus?
 
My guess is you want a TC one because those are more likely to be true to species.
But then again, willow leaf foliage is quite obvious.
 
Sadly I love them yet can’t put up with tropical care at the moment. I’d imagine they root too easily to TC. And they are pretty distinct species.
 
Don’t know why TF you’d want to pay extra for a glorified cutting but here’s one:
Supposedly, TF ficus develops fatter trunks/nebari according to a video on Bonsai U. I saw that link when googling but it is out of stock. Not sure why Bonsai Outlets out of stock stuff comes up in google searches.
 
Plant propagated through the tissue culture process.

Ficus grow so easy and fast, I dont think it would be worth the extra expense honestly
I grew one from a pencil sized cutting to over a 2 inch base in like 2 or 3 years just by up potting it. That was part of a club workshop that cost me $20.
I get so many free cuttings off of that tree now that I cant do anything with because I dont have the room for them inside during the winter.
