Description
The Hawaiian Fig (Ficus benjamina ‘Hawaii’) is an attractive evergreen tree with glossy green foliage and gracefully drooping branches. Its dense canopy creates a lush, tropical appearance, making it a popular choice for ornamental gardens and landscaping.
With its elegant growth habit and year-round greenery, this fig can make a beautiful feature tree in a suitable garden. It grows best in warm conditions and can develop into a substantial tree if left unpruned, so it is important to allow enough room for its mature size.
Growing Hawaiian Fig
Hawaiian Fig grows well in a sunny to semi-shaded position in fertile, well-drained soil. Water regularly while the tree is establishing, then reduce watering once it is well rooted. It responds well to pruning, which can help maintain its shape and size.
Ficus trees can develop extensive, vigorous root systems, so choose the planting location carefully. Avoid planting close to buildings, paving, drains and underground pipes.
