The dense, dark green, drooping canopy of the magnificent Ficus natalensis
makes it one of our finest indigenous shade trees. The size and growth
habit of this handsome tree varies widely, depending on the climate and
general growing conditions. In the Cape region for example, the Natal
Fig has a neat single trunk and tends to be smaller than it’s
counterparts growing in subtropical regions, where the canopy becomes
far wider with a profusion of aerial roots and a buttressed trunk. The
fruit or figs that are produced prolifically by these adaptable trees,
while not suitable for human consumption, attract a great diversity of
wildlife to the garden from birds to bats and a variety of insects. The
versatile Ficus natalensis is wind and drought resistant and tolerates temperatures from -5C – 30+C.
Our Natal Figs are looking absolutely spectacular, so don't hesitate to place your order with us today.
