PLANT PROFILE
Ficus obliqua, commonly known as the Small-leaved Fig or Native Fig, is a large Australian native tree recognised for its spreading canopy and dense evergreen foliage. The leaves are smaller and narrower than those of many other figs, glossy green, and provide a fine-textured canopy. Mature trees develop a stout trunk with smooth grey bark, and their broad crown can extend widely, providing excellent summer shade. Small, yellow to orange figs are produced through the year, supporting a wide range of native birds and wildlife. Mature specimens can reach 15–30 metres tall with a spread of 10–20 metres.
This species grows at a moderate to fast rate in favourable conditions. Ficus obliqua is hardy, evergreen, and highly adaptable, tolerating a range of soils provided they are well-drained. It is drought tolerant once established, frost sensitive when young, and thrives in full sun. Like other figs, it develops strong surface roots and is best suited to parks, large gardens, or civic plantings where space is available. Minimal maintenance is required beyond formative pruning and periodic removal of lower limbs if clearance is needed.
They look excellent when used as shade trees in large gardens, planted in avenues for civic landscapes, or incorporated into parklands where their broad canopies can be fully appreciated. Their ecological value and ability to support wildlife also make them an important choice in native and habitat plantings.
