Ficus lutea | Giant-leaved fig trees for sale | Reuseblaarvy

Giant-leaved fig is one of the most beautiful fig species. It has extraordinary large, shiny leaves - the largest in the ficus genus. Ficus lutea has a compact, mushroom shape crown that gives a dense shade. The tree is semi-deciduous and may even be evergreen in a favorable climate.  Giant-leaved fig is a fast grower but has aggressive roots. It will give a tropical look to your garden after a few seasons. The species is mildly frost sensitive. In our experience at the Treeshop nursery it is able to withstand a temperature as low -0.5 degree Celsius. Plant Ficus lutea as 'n focal point in a large garden. Plant it in a large pot if you want to enjoy this beautiful tree in a small garden.
