Tree Ficus Nitida | 1.5 - 2.0 m | 25 - 30 cm girth

One of the best medium-to-large shade trees available is the Ficus 'Indian Laurel'. Native to Asia and Hawaii, Ficus nitida is an evergreen tree that thrives in the Southwest. This single-trunk variety actually prefers areas with lots of full sun exposure for growth. Its broad spreading canopy, which boasts lush green foliage that enhances the beauty of any setting, is undoubtedly one of its main selling points. We adore planting them in any landscape where their ample shade potential would be beneficial. Its canopy, when positioned appropriately around a house, can offer enough shade to help cool the building, resulting in lower utility costs and a more comfortable interior on hot days.
