Ficus Amstel

$0.01

The long, narrow leaves are naturally glossy and taper to a point. As this ficus tree grows, it may drop its lower leaves revealing a bare woody trunk, giving this tree a palm-like appearance. Sometimes its trunks are braided by growers making it look like a topiary.

Its care is easier than many of its relatives. You’ll find it’s less tempermental than F. benjamina, that drops its leaves when it doesn’t get what it wants. However, leaf drop is possible with ‘Alii’ if it doesn’t get enough light and regular waterings.
