    Hi, /u/YogaSakshi!

    **Thank you for [your submission](https://www.reddit.com/r/Bonsai/comments/1rw6sjq/ficus_retusa_1956/) to /r/Bonsai!**

    Oops! Your submission has been removed because this subreddit requires appropriate user flair (the tags next to user names, separate from post flair — [read here for more information](https://www.reddit.com/r/Bonsai/wiki/walkthrough#wiki_what_is_flair.3F_why_do_i_need_it.3F_why_all_the_rules.3F)). Bonsai advice is very location-dependent, and correctly filled in flair helps people give you better advice and helps them avoid giving you inappropriate advice. Flair often doesn’t save correctly when using the app or mobile site. It’s more reliable to set it through the desktop version of the site, which you can also get to with a mobile browser by going to the reddit settings menu and selecting ‘request desktop site.’ The option to set your flair is in the sidebar, either [here](https://i.imgur.com/yvRH3bL.png) on old reddit or [here](https://i.imgur.com/wDGyvES.png) on the redesign.

    **To get your submission approved, please be sure the topic is appropriate for its own post, [set your user flair](https://www.reddit.com/r/Bonsai/wiki/walkthrough#wiki_what_is_flair.3F_why_do_i_need_it.3F_why_all_the_rules.3F), and re-submit your post.**

    While the vast majority of users come here looking for advice and discussion on their trees, we understand that some of you are not. In that case, you can set the flair to anything you like to meet the requirement. If you *are* here to discuss your trees, we do ask that you fill your flair out accurately. Thanks!

    **If you are on a mobile device and can’t see the sidebar, try using your mobile browser. That usually works.**

    **Also, please read [the Beginner’s Walkthrough](https://www.reddit.com/r/Bonsai/wiki/walkthrough)** in the **[wiki](https://www.reddit.com/r/Bonsai/wiki/)** before posting for the first time.

    Looks like it’s got a tag with a barcode on it. How much does it cost?

    i’m skeptical that tree is actually 70 years old, the bark looks too young on the trunks, ficus like that tend to turn pale as they age
