6" pot size, approximately 15-25cm in height. | Ficus microcarpa hillii ‘Flash’
Standards don't come any better than with Ficus 'Flash'! The dense, upright habit and deep, glossy emerald green foliage make Ficus one of the best looking standards on the market.
The rapid growth of Ficus hillii 'Flash' means a fast standard or topiary can be achieved and, in this standard form, they lend themselves to becoming a beautiful pleached hedge with an underplanting of groundcovers, grasses or feature rocks.
This Australian native tolerates many conditions and is suitable for planting in pots and containers, on balcony's and cafe seating areas.
