Ficus Hillii

Size: 1000L
Sale price$7,000.00

Ficus microcarpa var. hillii (Hill’s Weeping Fig) is a fast-growing, low-maintenance evergreen tree ideal for hedging, screening, pleaching, or feature planting. It has a denser, more pendulous form than Ficus hillii ‘Flash’, giving it a softer, more cascading appearance. The foliage is lime-green, glossy, and tightly packed, making it highly effective for privacy and noise reduction.

Well-suited to formal gardens and modern landscapes, it can be clipped to a clean, uniform height or left unpruned for a natural, flowing canopy. Commonly used for tall hedges, topiary standards, and pleached rows. It responds well to pruning and shaping, allowing precise control over size and form.

Thrives in full sun to part shade and adapts to most well-drained soils. Performs reliably in a wide range of Australian climates, from coastal to inland zones. Resistant to most pests and diseases once established. A+ grade quality stock, grown to Australian Tree Standards.
