Opinions of this tree... is it worth purchasing ?? Needs work but do you think it?

Assuming you are in a climate where ficus does well, or you can provide said climate, then yeah, I think it has good potential. The foliage needs to come down, I see the final tree height somewhere halfway the current foliage mass. But good taper, decent movement and some interesting rootfeatures. Nice.

As an afterthought: have you checked the foliage? Is it grafted on? Then you might run into trouble that the original plant has much larger leaves.

I would take it.
Looks like the original size leave, the branches are looking like not grafted, took it into photoshop and blowed it up. It stays as structure shows in a green house, that would be most likely the best place. Defoliation would bring more branches as also pinching the tips.

Wow znickles that is much nicer than the trees in your other post. If the price is right go for it. My concern as a fellow beginners is asking myself the question "will I mind if it dies?" I am not saying you will kill it. I am just saying it is a possibility. So again if you consider all that and you are ok with the price get it.

To all:
I have an indoor climate set up with humidity and lights. I know my other material is quite inferior but in he area I live, this is there isn't even good Nursery stock.
This Ficus is listed at 455.00 US dollars. It's got a 25 percent off tag. I think I could talk them down a bit more to be honest. I just really want some good material. The problem is, I would struggle with shaping and pruning this specimen but I know I could get the job done with a little work.

Looks better than most Ficus I've been seeing around. If the price is right, buy it!

The greenhouse said he'd sell it to me for 300 usd

Znickles you don't mention where you are from. Does your greenhouse sell regular ficus trees or juniper? These could used as starter material. They won't be bonsai but you can make them bonsai in time and you'll be training yourself in less expensive material.

Perhaps because I am in a tropical country (lots of ficuses around), a ficus like that will cost around 75U$ at a local nursery. So, for my standards yours is expensive.

I'm from a Ohio. I have very little outdoor space living in a small apartment. I don't have the ability to develop a tree the the ground to get a small treee into bonsai material. I have a shimpaku but it's already in a bonsai pot and I know it's not gonna grow well. I need an already developed tree , for training.
