Found this on clearance at Sam's Club. What is it?

I found this tree on clearance at Sam's Club yesterday. The pot was broken. Any ideas what kind it is?

Hey Manix5-
Sorry I can't ID the tree - but I do recognize the guy in the mirror.
I'm sure it's you!. lol
I couldn't help it.
Somebody was bound to do it.
I got there first.

:lol:

Anyway - if I could name it I would call it Uncle Sam Sumo.

Yes Tom that's me. I sat the tree on the counter in my bathroom cause the lighting was good enough for a quick photo. Didn't think about catching myself in the mirror. :shock: A fellow member of the Indianapolis Bonsai Club tells me it is a Ginseng Ficus which is a variety of Ficus Microcarpa.

Yup, it's a Ginseng Ficus.

that's one of the better ginsengs I've seen, I'm not to fond of the potato trunks on most of them that are grown purposely that way in the farm. I do like the nebari on yours, its pretty spread out.
