Description

Ficus hillii 'Emerald'

APPEARANCE : Leafy upright fig, dense glossy evergreen foliage, ideal grown in containers and used for hedging and groundcover. Often found trained as a standard (one single trunk with a 'lollipop' head.)
USE IN: Indoor and outdoor container planting, formal fast-growing hedging, specimen planting and topiary.
PLANTING: Suited to full sun and shade, perfect for almost anywhere frost-free. Prefers a moist soil; water during dry periods.
CARE: Mulch and water with a seaweed based fertiliser on planting to reduce transplant shock, follow with regular watering until the plant is established, usually around 12 weeks. Prune to help maintain a tidy growth habit or to shape as preferred. Apply a slow release fertiliser twice yearly and protect from frost.
HEIGHT & WIDTH: 8m H x 3m W if grown as a tree.
YOUR PLANTS : These are tubestock plants, healthy young plants with new roots that will establish quickly in your garden. The pot size is 80mm high and 42 mm wide.
