Ficus platypoda

Foliage Evergreen Form Oval Mature Size 8 x 5m Family Moraceae

Rock Fig Naturally occurring in rocky outcrops of central and northern Australia, this variety of fig has oval foliage that is thick and very heavily waxed almost like those of a rubber plant. It has a finely-textured grey bark and produces tiny, hard fruits which are about the size of marbles. These fruits start off yellow and change to orange as they ripen. Growing to around 8 metres, this is a good tree for pruning to a formal shape or size. This tree can be pruned to shape for a waxy screen to 8m. It also makes an attractive specimen tree. Prefers a moisture retentive but well drained soil in full sun.
