Ficus Cloud - Evergreen Trees Direct

PLANT PROFILE

Ficus microcarpa 'Cloud', known as Ficus Cloud or Chinese Banyan, is a stunning ornamental tree celebrated for its artistic cloud-like tiers of dense, glossy foliage. Growing between 2.5 and 4.5 meters tall and 1 to 2 meters wide, this evergreen offers sculptural elegance, making it a standout feature for patios, courtyards, or formal gardens.

Its compact, rounded leaves form distinctive cloud shapes along the branches, creating year-round visual interest. While it rarely flowers, its unique topiary form provides strong architectural appeal, often favored for bonsai and potted specimens.

Thriving in full sun to partial shade, Ficus Cloud adapts well to various soils and urban conditions, showing moderate drought tolerance once established. Regular pruning is essential to maintain its signature shape and health. It looks excellent in spaces where you want a living piece of art that draws the eye and enhances your landscape with refined beauty.
