Hill's Fig
The ultimate lush tree, Hill's Fig can also be grown as a large hedge or pruned for topiary. In low rainfall areas, it has the perfect shape to provide dense shade. In areas of summer rainfall, like Sydney, it will have buttressed roots and grow almost as large as a Moreton Bay Fig, but without dropping messy leaves. In small gardens, maintain by keeping the trunk clear and clipping the foliage regularly to maintain dense growth. Fast growth rate.
How to grow
Plant in full sun in a moist free-draining soil. Thrives in sandy soils too.
