Ficus Macrophylla - Moreton Bay Fig

Ficus macrophylla, known as the Moreton Bay Fig, is a majestic evergreen tree celebrated for its vast, spreading canopy and impressive buttressed roots. Growing up to 40–60 meters tall in its natural habitat, this monumental tree features large, glossy, leathery leaves and a dense canopy that provides ample shade, making it a standout feature in large landscapes, parks, and botanical gardens.

With a wide-reaching canopy often as broad as its height, it requires generous space—ideally planted 15–20 meters away from structures—to thrive and showcase its grandeur. Moreton Bay Fig adapts well to a range of soils, prefers full sun but tolerates partial shade, and is drought-tolerant once mature. It supports diverse wildlife, attracting birds and offering habitat throughout the year.

This iconic tree looks excellent in expansive settings where its dramatic form and lush foliage can truly shine, offering timeless beauty and a strong sense of place to any outdoor space.
