Green Island Ficus

The Green Island Ficus is an easy tree to grow and thrives in USDA Zone 10-11. It's leaves are round shaped and the tree can produce small ornamental figs. Like other Ficus trees, the Green Island Ficus can grow in low light so it's a suitable tree to grow indoors.

I have two of the trees that are clippings from a larger tree and both are around 2 years old now and growing very well. The trees are on the same schedule of fertilizing which is twice a month during the winter months.

One of the trees is growing in a more formal upright style while the other I've training in a slant style to provide a bit of movement. The upright tree has a larger back branch that I will probably prune off in the Spring and grow another cutting.
