Ficus ‘Flash’ – 180MM
(Not currently available to be ordered)
I am Flash. My family originated from South East Asia to northern Australia
| I am a beautiful fast growing large native evergreen tree.
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. 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 am hardy and thrive 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. |
