Hills Fig 180MM

Ficus microcarpa hillii 'Flash'

I am Hills Fig. My family originated from South East Asia to northern Australia.

Habit Tree - Can be kept narrow
Plant family Moraceae
I am a beautiful fast growing large native evergreen tree. Adaptable I am a great choice for pots, topiary and being pruned as a standard. I am suited to being grown indoors in a well-lit area. I have lovely lush emerald green foliage with lighter coloured new growth. My fast growth, upright habit, response to pruning and hedging means I make a sensational screening hedge. I am hardy and thrive in most soils from dry to wet and boggy. I rarely flower in a garden setting. If I do my blooms are insignificant and followed by small fruits which attract native birds and other wildlife.
I am popular and will make you happy because...
My dense foliage, quick growth & response to pruning makes me ideal for hedging, screening or as a topiary
